Syllabus plan/Content: | Introduction to Renewable Energies Solar power - Solar irradiation, shading effect, solar irradiation constant - Solar thermal power - concentrating and non-concentrating solar power, - Solar water heating technology, electricity generation by solar power - Photovoltaics – photovoltaics cells, electrical circuits, efficiency of the photovoltaics cells and systems Water power - Water energy potential, history and perspectives, type of the water power plants, water turbines, efficiency, design and application conditions - See water power, tidal, wave and ocean current power plants Wind power - Wind power potential, historical background, wind speed distribution, design of the wind power - Efficiency and Betz factor, blade rotors and aerodynamics, blade rotor regulation Biomass - Use of Biomass, solid biomass, liquid biomass, gaseous biomass - Biomass cogeneration plant |
Learning Goals | |
Subject-specific skills and competences: | After successful participation in this module, the students will be able to independently carry out basic design and calculation of the renewable energy systems representing by wind, solar, water and biomass energy. Furthermore, students can estimate potentials and basic processes in the renewable energy systems. They will be able to express and describe the fundamental components of the energy systems and develop suitable solution methods in the group. |
Generic competences (Personal and key skills): | Recognition of basic physical principles in technical tasks - Use of balance equations for the quantitative analysis of systems - Development of work techniques to solve engineering tasks - Group work with multi-part tasks - Ability to communicate and self-critical evaluation of own solution approaches - Complex and analytical problem consideration |
