ECTS	4

The aim of the course is that students, on the basis of previously acquired knowledge from the concept of organization and methods of operation and use of renewable energy sources, gain practical knowledge on design of power plants, especially of wind, solar and hydro plants (small hydro). The goal is to be partly familiar with all the technical and non-technical requirements of such a project and to work through of master key stages of design.

Students will be able to prepare entire project of preliminary design of a small power plant that uses either energy of wind, solar or hydro energy..

Introduction - concept and types of clean energy sources and conversion capabilities into electricity. The types of projects and how to set the terms of reference. Technical requirements for design and conditions. Administrative requirements and necessary approvals, rulings, instructions, and other non-technical document. Methods of determining the cost of construction, exploitation and decommissioning of clean energy sources. Techno-economic analysis of the project and the procedures for investment. Methods of determining the return on investment of time, depending on rezličitih investment schemes.

Teaching methods include lecture and active student participation through discussion on a given topic, group and individual scientific research, processing, case studies, etc. Theoretical aspects and mathematical models will be presented at the lectures, while the practical work and simulation work to be done in the exercises. Independent student work will be reported in the preparation of project / case studies.
