ECT 468

RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS (S8 ECE)

Preamble: This course helps the students to understand environmental issues with conventional fuels, the new methodologies/technologies for the effective utilization of renewable energy sources. They will be conversant with the characteristics of solar PV and wind power sources. Also, they will have an in-depth understanding of electronic conversion systems application to renewable energy generation systems and the synchronization with smart grid systems. The courses equip the students to pursue further specialized areas of study such as renewable energy and green consumer electronics, industrial control systems and smart grid, and renewable energy system which are essentially based on this course.
