| Short description: | Passing the course “Renewable energy sources” provides a technical knowledge about devices for energy production like wind turbines, water turbines, boilers dedicated for biomass, ground heat exchangers, hydrogen fuel cells etc. Practical part of the course teaches how to calculate efficiency and proper work parameters of discussed devices. Students gain also skills for measurements and designing different devices which utilize the renewable fuels and energy sources. |
| Full description: | Acquisition and use of various forms of renewable energy. Calculation method yields energy and geometric parameters and the parameters of the equipment sourcing energy from renewable sources. The specificity of the enterprise in the field of renewable energy. Technical assessment - economic system for renewable energy production. |
