| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES, ESPECIALLY SOLAR ENERGY, WIND ENERGY, BIOMASS AND ENERGY FROM THE SEA. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TO PERFORM PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANTS, BOTH IN COMPARISON WITH THE TRADITIONAL SOURCES AND IN A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS BETWEEN DIFFERENT ENERGY SOURCES AND RELATED PLANT TYPOLOGIES. MAKING JUDGEMENTS ABILITY TO EVALUATE POTENTIAL AND LIMITS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY PLANTS, ALSO IN RELATION TO THE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK. COMMUNICATION SKILLS ABILITY TO WORK AS PART OF A TEAM, ESPECIALLY TO PERFORM CONCEPTUAL ANALYSIS OF ENERGY PLANTS, ALSO BY USING THE COMPUTER. LEARNING SKILLS KNOWING HOW TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGH THE COURSE TO CASE STUDIES. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF TARGETED SKILLS REQUIRES COMPETENCES IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICS, THERMODYNAMICS, FLUID MACHINERY AND ENERGY SYSTEMS. FOR THE PRACTICAL PART, IT IS USEFUL TO BE FAMILIAR WITH COMPUTER PROGRAMMING, PARTICULARLY WITH THE MATLAB PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE, AND THE USE OF SPREADSHEETS. |
