Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module
After successful completion of the module students should be able to:
  • critically evaluate and compare major Renewable Energy conversion processes and technologies in solar thermal energy and biomass energy,
  • analyze various system components and their interconnections within a complex Renewable Energy supply system,
  • evaluate the Renewable Energy supply systems' operational size and efficiency,
  • critically evaluate non-technical impact and side effects when implementing renewable energy supply systems.
