Description
What are you going to learn in this course?
The basics of wind energy such as types of wind turbines, Betz limit, power extraction from wind, factors affecting wind speed, wind turbine generator characteristics, the effect of the rotor diameter and generator size on power, and the wind turbine spacing.
The basics of solar energy such as the components of the PV system, types of panels and PV systems, selection of tilt angle, installation of solar cables, how to specify the distance between PV rows, global solar atlas, charge controllers, and their types, and solar inverters.
The basics of wave energy including the wave space, time, and height properties, sea wave equation, wave packet, wave particles motion, dispersion relation of different sea waves, shoaling effect in sea waves, and wave buoy measurements and computation of sea parameters.
Moreover, in the wave energy course, we will learn about the types of wave energy conversion systems like Pelamis wave energy converter, Aquabuoy and the Aegir dynamo wave energy converters, wave dragon, oscillating column wave energy converters, AWS or Archimedes wave swing, and oyster wave energy converter. Also, we will have an overview, of types, and different projects and prototypes involving these converters.
The steps of a feasibility study in a wave energy resource will be explained and how can we apply this to a location in Spain.
The basics and types of hydroelectric power plants, hydro head and its effect on electricity generation.
The basics of geothermal power plants including the generation of electricity from geothermal power and the types of geothermal power plants.
The definition of an electric vehicle and types of electric vehicles like battery electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs).
The history of electric vehicles and major components of electric vehicles like batteries, motors, and power electronic converters.
The battery technology adopted like lithium-ion batteries in addition to advancements in battery technology, and types of electric motors in electric vehicles including AC and DC adopted.
The charging infrastructure including the definition of a charging station or charging equipment, and levels of charging including the home level and public level. Moreover, the definition of range, range anxiety, and the environmental impact of EVs.
