Renewable Energy and Power Evacuation Program

Program Overview

With the ever-increasing demand for electric power and imminent exhaustion of fossil fuels, tapping the renewable energy sources for power generation seems the most obvious solution to bridge the demand and supply gap. This program on Renewable Energy and Power Evacuation discusses the available Renewable Energy options and the challenges faced in harnessing the power from these sources. The program further elaborates on how to generate power from solar and wind power plants commercially and technologically viable. The learner is taken through the various energy-storage technologies available with specific detailing on battery technology and its advancements. Case Studies on large scale implementation of solar plants and wind power plants are deliberated using software tools like PVSyst and SAM. Do it yourself problem statements from industry on Solar PV design using MATLAB/PVSyst/SAM is also provided to the learners to get hands on experience on the subject.
