Course Contents

Operating principles of photovoltaic (PV) cells/modules. Electrical performance characteristics of the PV modules. Analysis and planning for PV systems. Electric generation by wind turbines. Analysis and planning for wind generator systems. Electric production systems based on water power. Hydroelectric dam and river powered systems. Electric generation via sea water ( tidal, wave energy systems). Thermo-electric devices (Peltiers). Electrolysis and electric via hydrogen fuel cells. Hybrid systems. Sample analyzies and demostrations. *Based on the educational principle of learning by doing and experiencing, realazing this course is better in the laboratory environment class where theory, observation and experiment are combined.
