Aims of the teaching

The purpose of this course is to provide an engineering assessment of renewable energy resources, including technologies for harnessing them within the framework of simple to advanced energy systems. Course content is divided into the following blocks:
Biomass & Biofuels
Wind Power
Solar Energy
Hydropower
Energy Storage

Intended Learning outcomes (measured by the assessment)

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
1. Analyze the characteristics of renewable energy sources, and contrast these with fossil fuels
2. Identify and quantify the means of harnessing renewable energy sources in terms of fundamental energy conversion
3. Design renewable energy systems that meet specific energy demands and are sustainable
