Utilization of ocean thermal energy, environmental impact. Wind energy: resources, wind energy utilization, vertical and horizontal axis wind turbines (VAWT, HAWT), systems based on wind energy (stand alone and utility interactive systems), technical problems and solutions, environmental impact. Hydro energy: resources, utilization of water power, estimation of available energy, impulse and reaction turbines, hydropower plants as part of electric power system, small hydropower plant, environmental impact Utilization of wave and tidal energy, environmental impact. Geothermal energy: types of geothermal sources, resources, technologies and systems for geothermal energy utilization (direct and indirect utilization), environmental impact. Biomass: biomass characteristics, technologies and systems for biomass utilization (combustion, gasification and pyrolysis), biofuels (biodiesel, biogas), environmental impact. Nuclear energy: processes for nuclear energy production, nuclear fuel, nuclear power plants (reactors, power plants), nuclear waste (legislation), and environmental impact. Energy storage: primary energy storage, thermal storage, mechanical energy storage, electrical energy storage, electrical ways of energy storage, biological energy storage.
Teaching methods:
Lectures, auditory and computer exercises, mentoring, consultations. In groups, under the supervision, students are writing term paper for the selected topic and individually defend it in front of colleagues and teacher. The choice of theme is in line with student interest. The final test covers the entire course content presented during the lectures and it is eliminatory. At the final evaluation score affects the term paper, test scores and overall activity during course.
