All year long, with partial 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) geothermal 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 exercices.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Due to the sanitary situation, the teaching will be done mainly by distance. Every week, a pocast will be provided for the theoretical part. The exercise part will be given trough a live videoconference at the time of the lecture (from 13h45 to 15h15).
To allow interactions between students and teachers, a discussion session is organised a the time slot of the course from 15h45 to 17h15 where the interested students may ask their questions.
The first lecture will take place in face-to-face the 17th of September. The students whose name begins by the letter A to L will attend from 13h45 to 15h15 while the others (from M to Z) will attend from 15h45 to 17h15.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Lecture slides and a reference book are communicated electronically to the students.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
The exams for the first and second sessions are made of a written test.
