ENERGY SYSTEMS-II

Course Description

This course covers the analysis of the energy system designs, and examines the nature of energy sources. Principles and economics of energy production, transmission, storage and conversion systems and their efficiencies are also included. Renewable and alternative energy sources such as wave/tidal, geothermal, hydrogen and biomass are analyzed. Physical and technical basics of hydropower is stated. Basic fuel cell types and the application areas are analyzed. Energy storage technologies are examined based on their power and energy capacities. Furthermore, energy generation, distribution, energy markets, energy pricing and valuation are included in the course. Distributed generation systems and smart grids are also introduced. The correlation between Energy and environment, climate change, energy and water, energy and food are examined.
