Training objectives

To master the most important concepts about fluid machines and renewable energy conversion systems and their integration in the energetic system, to give decision tools and criteria for design, cost analysis, efficiency analysis, and selection with emphasis to community and small scale plants.

Prerequisites

Fluid Machines, Thermodynamics

Course programme

a. Solar Power
i. Solar Resource
ii. Solar photovoltaic
iii. Concentrated and thermodynamic solar
