Summary
The content of the subject is focus on the basic information about topologies and concepts of off-grid energy systems. During semester are discussed the parameters of the individual components of the whole system with respect to their operating characteristics. Students are acquainted with the basic methods for diagnosing the status of individual components of off-grid systems.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student is fully acquainted with the design, operation and management of off-grid energy systems. The graduate is also acquainted with the parameters and properties of individual components of off-grid systems and is able to implement basic diagnostics methods of off-grid systems. The graduate will acquire basic knowledge about selected types of renewable energy sources.
