SUSE 579Distributed Energy Sources/Remote Systems3 credits
An introduction to distributed small energy systems, such as hydropower, marine and wind turbines, and photovoltaics, as components of remote systems providing power for communities and other applications too far from the electricity grid to be easily connected. The design of these systems will be considered through the need for storage to ensure continuity of supply and will use specialized software developed for this purpose. System control will be investigated, along with modelling of the electrical and additional loads, such as greenhouses or containerized hydroponics systems, water, and wastewater treatment.
