The course objective is that students acquire basic knowledge in the working principles and exploitation of renewable sources of power, and above all wind, solar and water energy (small hydro plants). The objective is to get introduced to the methods of operation, design and technical-economic aspects of their application in detail, especially considering the capacities in Vojvodina and Serbia. Besides, implementation of these sources into the existing distribution system will be presented along with all issues and specific features of open power market.

Students will be able to calculate, use and design different forms of renewable sources of power and to improve possibilities of theirs use. They will acquire practical experience in working with wind and solar plants, as well as with the methods of their connection and operation in the existing power system.

Introduction – review of renewable sources of power. Energy potential and geographical distribution. Situation in Serbia and Vojvodina. Methods of use and possibilities of conversion. Solar and wind energy converters into electricity – theory, models and methods of functioning. Characteristics and selection of electric generators in the wind plants. Energy electric converters – application in wind plants, application in solar plants. Issues of production and assembly. Complex plants (wind farms) – working methods, surveyor mode, management, connection to the PES. Small hydro plants – design, control and connection. Economic – commercial conditions of application of renewable sources for production and sales of electricity. Possibilities of implementation of renewable sources into the power system. Advantages and issues in the distributed operation (unstable network, island operation, quality of electricity etc.).

Theoretical aspects and mathematical models will be presented during the lectures. Problem solution and designing methods will be done during the auditory practice, while practical work and characteristic measurements will be done within laboratory practice. Independent student work will be evaluated through project design.
