ECE X62R Renewable Energy and Power Systems
ECE 362R Renewable Energy and Power Systems 3 Hours
Examine renewable energy sources and their integration into power systems. Explore wind energy: resources, turbines, blades, rotor power characteristics, generators, active and reactive power, variability, and voltage regulation; solar energy: resources, solar radiation measurements, photovoltaic materials and properties, photovoltaic electrical characteristics, and system integration; and demonstrations with commercial-grade solar panels and laboratory-scale wind turbines.
