Objectives
The student knows:
- Network requirements and connection conditions for decentralized electricity production
- Design and installation requirements as well as electrical safety characteristics
- Functional characteristics of parallel and island operations
The student can
- Explains the concept of electromagnetic energy and knows the effect of wavelength on the energy content of radiation. As a result, the student knows the energy content and wavelength distribution of solar radiation entering the Earth's atmosphere.
- Explains the effects of solar radiation on a semiconductor and is able to outline the principle of a conventional semiconductor solar cell. In addition, the student can explain the effects of radiation intensity and temperature on the operation of a solar cell.
- Evaluate the daily, monthly and yearly energy production of a solar power plant using the tools presented during the course.
- Explains the forces that influence the air currents and can justify the direction in which the wind orbits the low and high pressure centers around the globe.
- Explains the concept of wind power and recognizes the cubic effect of wind speed.
- Explains the force effects on the rotating blade of a wind turbine and can be used to justify the most important factors in blade design. With the help of the blade design understanding, the student can also explain the power control methods of a wind turbine.
- Explain the role different generator types play in different wind turbine concepts. The student is able to explain why the use of a short circuit machine leads to a constant speed concept and why the most popular wind turbine concept today uses a double-fed induction machine.
- Evaluate wind power production using the tools presented in this course.
