Content
SEE217 covers in detail the commonly featuring Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) such as Solar, Wind, Hydro, Energy storage to generate electricity for the modern power grid. In addition, Hydrogen Fuel Cell systems, Geothermal, Biomass, Wave and Tidal energy systems are explored in this unit. Completion of this unit will allow students to gain a thorough understanding of the operating principles, characteristics as well as the grid integration of various renewable energy sources. This unit will allow students to develop hands-on experience in understanding the unique characteristics of each RES and guide them to design renewable energy-based generation systems, their control and energy management. The conceptual knowledge developed through this unit will help students to apply design mechanisms that can ensure a safe, efficient, and reliable operation of renewable energy-based modern power system networks.
