AES 100ADVANCED ENERGY SYSTEMS

Catalog

This introductory course explores the fundamental principles, applications, and technologies of renewable energy systems. Students will examine solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass energy sources through both classroom instruction and hands-on field experiences. The course covers system components, basic design principles, efficiency calculations, and real-world applications. Technical concepts are reinforced through laboratory exercises and field observations of operational renewable energy installations. At the end of this course, students will be able to evaluate renewable energy systems for specific applications, perform basic system calculations, and recommend appropriate renewable energy solutions based on site-specific requirements.
