ENGR3180 Renewable Energy
Exploration of the science and dynamics of renewable energy technologies and their implementation, including grid and storage technologies. A systems-level exploration of renewable energy technology on human populations, economic, social and political power structures will be included as an integral part of this class. Course includes a renewable energy project design and simulation. Topics are: systems dynamics, thermodynamics, grid energy systems, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, geothermal, hydroelectric and wind systems. Skills developed include the design and simulation of the energy performance of a renewable energy system using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory simulator.
