ME 627 Advanced Renewable Energy Systems
An in-depth review of renewable energy sources, their usage and problems, will be conducted. Special focus will be on biomass/biofuels and Waste-to-Energy, geothermal, wind power, hydropower and solar energy. Quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis will be used. Practical and/or hands-on projects will be undertaken to validate the learnt renewable energy theories and principles.
This course builds on previous ones that deal with alternative energies and renewable energy technologies, and provide a good breath of knowledge for graduate students preparing for master and/or doctoral degrees.
