This course provides a detailed description of selected technologies for the production of renewable energy: sun power, wind power, biomass combustion and gasification, and hydropower.
The following technical aspects will be covered during the sessions:
The students will also work on the design or the analysis of specific systems in several group projects. One of them will be based on the integration of various renewable technologies to fulfill a given energy demand.
The slides and other digital material will be made available through an online platform.
At the end of this course, the students will be able to:
Can present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.
Can collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team.
Can work in an industrial environment with attention to safety, quality assurance, communication and reporting.
Can develop, plan execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional.
Can think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information.
Having a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry and society.
Having a critical attitude towards one's own results and those of others.
Having consciousness of the ethical, social, environmental and economic context of his/her work and strives for sustainable solutions to engineering problems including safety and quality assurance aspects.
Having the flexibility and adaptability to work in an international and/or intercultural context.
Having an attitude of life-long learning as needed for the future development of his/her career.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of integrated structural design methods in the framework of a global design strategy.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes.
The students must acquire knowledge and understanding to model renewable energy systems such as PV panels, wind turbines or biomass conversion systems.
Having a broad scientific knowledge, understanding and skills to be able to design, produce and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems with a focus on products, systems and services. E.g. codepo project, courses around renewable sustainable mobility,...
The students must develop these aspects specifically for renewable energy technology.
Having an in-depth scientific knowledge, understanding and skills in at least one of the subfields needed to design, produce, apply and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems.
Having an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.
The students must develop these aspects specifically for renewable energy technology.
Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).
Can conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives, existing knowledge and the relevant literature, with attention to innovation and valorization in industry and society.
Can correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper.
