-         Task based learning by focusing on a selected topic

 

Advanced Solar Energy Meteorology:

-      Providing a solid understanding of physical processes governing the surface solar irradiance available for solar energy applications

-      Developing skills in solar radiation modeling, i.e., expertise in application, adaptation and development of models

-      Solid knowledge in state-of-the-art-methods in satellite-based irradiance estimation and solar power forecasting

Detailed understanding of the influence of meteoro-logical/climatological aspects on the performance of solar energy systems

Photovoltaic Systems

This course extends the topics on the design of photovoltaic systems introduced in module. Students will obtain an overview of a range of on-grid PV applications (e.g. home based rooftop systems, industrial roof-top systems and PV power plants) as well as off-grid applications (e.g. Solar Home System, Micro Grid System, Hybrid System, Photovoltaic Pumping System) and system integration aspects.

The course covers system design methods for on- and off-grid PV systems and provides students with both theoretical principles and practical experiences.
