Lectures

Goal

To gain a comprehensive knowledge about renewable energy sources which are alternative to classical energy technologies. Introduction to processes and devices for exploitation of renewable energy sources. Studding about possibilities for retrofitting the fossil fuel facilities in order to adapt them to work with renewable energy sources. Thermo dynamical and techno-economical analysis of renewable energy sources utilization.

Outcome

Students will gain knowledge about renewable energy sources and possibilities for their use, as well as about methodology of thermodynamical analysis of devices utilizing renewable energy sources. Student will become capable to carry out independent research in this field.

Theoretical teaching

Basics considerations about importance of renewable energy sources utilization. Possibilities of energy harvesting from RES. Legislation in this field in EU countries and Serbia. Thermodynamical analysis of devices imploying RES technology. Technoeconomical and ecological aspects of RES utilization. Basic characteristics, potentials and possibilities of RES utilization. Possibilities of substituting fossil fuels with RES. Possibility of electrical energy production from RES.
