| Teilnahmevoraussetzungen |

| Kompetenzziele | After successful completion of the module students should have gained general methods of scientific experimenting and scientific writing. The focus of expertise will be on renewable energy in the following fields: · Radiation and Matter (solar photovoltaic cell) · Energy Storage (battery and hydrogen storage systems) · Fluids (wind profiles and wind energy converters |
| Modulinhalte | This module complements and adds on to the lecture content of the modules pre022 Solar Energy (courses Photovoltaics, Solar Thermal Energy) as well as
Introductory Lab Student’s knowledge on basics of measurement are levelled out by basic measurements of voltage, resistance and current as well as general detectors transforming temperature, speed and radiation in to electric signals.
Scientific Writing Students are introduced in to general rules and practice of scientific writing and their awareness is created towards prohibited plagiarism and proper citation.
The focus of the labs listed below is on the scientific principles of components and the technical description of those components.
Lab Radiation and Matter (solar photovoltaic cell) In these experiments the relation between radiation density, its spectrum as well as PV-cell’s temperature is introduced.
Lab Energy Storage (battery and hydrogen storage systems) Students explore the behaviour of a lead acid battery (charging and discharging, capacity, internal resistance as a function of capacity and state of charge) as well as a model electrolyser and model fuel cell whereby basic features of a hydrogen storage system and its components are distilled.
Lab Fluids (wind profiles and wind energy converters In a model wind tunnel students search lift and drag coefficients of objects, specifically wind profiles (lift, drag, gliding angle as a function of wind speed) and they explore the operational characteristic of a model wind energy converter (cp-λ curve).
Lab Heat Transfer (solar thermal collector, heat cube) The operational characteristics of a solar thermal collector and its efficiency dependency on radiation, ambient temperature and temperature gain from inlet to outlet are explored. Alternatively radiation, convection and conduction can be explored within the setup “heat cube”. |
