Renewable Energy Technologies

Catalog description

Renewable Energy Technology examines energy conversion, transport, and storage with the goal of devising courses of action that transform the current state of energy use into one that relies more fully on renewable resources and efficient processes. The course will give priority to photovoltaics, wind, and hydro conversion technologies and to the electrical grid for energy transport. From year-to-year other topics will be explored based on the wishes of the participants. Research, discussion, projects, and presentations will be the primary learning methods. The engineering core and thermodynamics are suggested preparation for this course.
