The goal | Provide students to understand the principles and technologies for obtaining electrical energy from renewable energy sources (wind power plants, PV power plants, solar-thermal power plants, biomass power plants and fuel cells). Provide students to understand the working conditions of the grid connected renewable sources and stand-alone renewable sources for supplying the isolated loads. | |||
The outcome | Introduce students to basic principles of measurement and analysis of renewable energy resources. Make students capable to project PV systems and wind power plants. Provide student with the ability to project hybrid systems for supplying the isolated loads. | |||
