Sisältö
Solar Energy: Introduction to the key elements in the design and operation of solar energy. Understand the key technology principles, trends and choices in the conversion of solar energy using photovoltaics (PV). Students will learn how other components in a PV system impact overall system performance and project risk.
Wind power plants: Wind turbine design and analysis: Introduction to understanding of wind energy systems, wind turbine design, and performance analysis, characterization of rotor performance (power and torque to rotor shaft as function of wind speed and rotational speed), characterization of electrical generator systems (el. power output as function of torque and rotational speed), the match of rotor- and generator-characteristics (fixed speed and variable speed concepts, concepts with and without gearbox), turbine control.
Students will be introduced to the key operational impacts and risks for solar and wind power projects including economic, legal and key aspects of developing both solar and wind power plant.
