About this course
Perform practical laboratory projects and simulations where you for each project: study the theory for the process, go through the specific lab, prepare running the lab, do the lab work, analyze the results, and write a report. The current laboratory experiments are as follows:
- Characteristics of solar cells, semiconductor technology, and theory
- Simulation and testing of solar collectors, efficiencies, and prediction
- Diesel engine used as a power plant running on rapeseed oil
- Simulation and PV systems supplying power to the grid
- Bomb calorimeter, fuels, and calorific values
- Solar collector systems, seasonal heat storage in the ground
Learning outcome
All energy must be converted from its source form (sun, biomass, wind, elevated water) into a useful form (light, movement, comfort).
After the course, you will:
- Understand some important energy conversion processes.
- Have run three real energy converters. Conducted measurements on real converters.
- Acquired experience with project management.
- Acquired a sense of dimensions related to, power, efficiency and environmental impacts of energy conversion.
