Download the fonts for corporate design. You need a student account for the university in order to download the fonts. This step is optional. Template will also work without the fonts
Edit the template from this repo according to your needs
Run latex
Run makeglossaries thesis from the command line to sort and typeset glossaries and list of acronyms/symbols
Run biblatex

Features
All features can be used in any LaTeX document and don't depend on the tud classes.
To-do notes
Very useful while writing the thesis. Don't forget to delete them before printing the final copy. Enable to-do notes with the todonotes package. I usually use the inline style.
\usepackage[ngerman]{todonotes}
\todo[inline]{This is a sample to-do note}
Print a list with your open to-do notes using the following command.
\listoftodos
Colors for corporate design
Define your own colors for later use in graphs or text.
For tables I used the ctable package. It allows to specify a seperate caption for the toc and therefore enables citations inside the table's caption. It also allows us to write footnotes directly below the table to further explain certain facts.

Equations
The big advantage of LaTex is how nicely complex equations are handled.
Equation for extraterrestrial radiation. Taken from Renewable and Efficient Electric Power Systems by Gilbert M. Masters on page 432, 7.43.
Equation for average wind power. Taken from Betrieb von Kleinwindkraftanlagen - ein Überblick über Markt, Technik und Wirtschaftlichkeit by W. Halbhuber on page 95.
