Special course on the physical basics of renewable energy

Description: The discipline provides students with a deep understanding of the physical processes occurring in installations based on unconventional and renewable energy sources, and prepares them to formulate technical and economic requirements for the design of such systems. The course covers the theoretical foundations of the operation of renewable energy installations, including solar, wind, geothermal and other energy sources, with an emphasis on the physical processes of energy conversion and methods for calculating equipment parameters. As a result, the student will be competent in the field of non-traditional and renewable energy sources and have the skills to formulate the basic technical and economic requirements for the designed devices and systems.

Amount of credits: 5

Пререквизиты:

• Introduction to Engineering

Course Workload:

Component: Component by selection

Cycle: Base disciplines

Goal

• To give students a clear understanding of the physical nature of the occurrence of phenomena associated with renewable energy sources; to teach them to analyze and correctly evaluate various situations that arise when setting problems associated with the practical use of renewable energy sources

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

Teaching methods

in the conditions of credit technology of training, classes should be conducted mainly in active and creative forms. Among the effective pedagogical techniques and technologies that contribute to the involvement of students in the search and management of knowledge, the acquisition of experience in solving problems independently, should be highlighted: - technology of problem- and project-oriented learning; - technologies of educational and research activities; - communication technologies (discussion, press conference, brainstorming, educational debates and others active forms and methods); - case study method (situation analysis); - gaming technologies, in which students participate in business, role-playing, simulation games; - information and communication (including distance education) technologies.
