Look at several types of renewable energy conversion and utilization systems, the conversion systems required to utilize the separate loads from solar, wind, ocean currents, tidal waves, geothermal, biomass forms of generation. Cover current and industrial renewable energy system sizing, system design, modeling, and control. Examine Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), and ways to model and control wind energy. Investigate PV systems, hybrid systems, grid connected and stand-alone systems. This includes energy storage for intermittent power generation. Examine tidal power systems along with wave energy converters, ocean current systems and hybrid energy system sizing. Explore more in the lab along with design cases, projects and term papers.
