Organisation and examination
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This cource introduces the concept of renewable energies and present the potential of the different conversion technologies. This study is conducted through the 3E approach: energy, economics and environment.
1) wind energy ;
2) solar energy (photovolatic and concentrated)
3) biomass ;
4) hydraulic energy
5) géothermal energy ;
6) energy storage.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
A the end of this course, the student will master the different techniques for the energy conversion from renewable sources. He will be able to identify and quantify the different energy potential and establish a feasibility study including both technical and economical aspects.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
This course is intended to be followed by a wide range of students and does not require any pre-requisite but a good knowledge of Physics and Mathematics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is made of 30 hours of theoretical sessions followed by 30 hours dedicated to the realization of the project. The project will be realized through the resolution of several exercices.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Lectures are given at the first semester, 4 hours par week.
Recommended or required readings
Lecture slides are communicated electronically to the students at the beginning of every session.
Assessment methods and criteria
The exam for the first and second session is made of a written test. A personal work will be realized in the frame of this course concerning the calculation of a feasibility study for a renewable energy project on a real life application test case.
