Outcomes
• Describe and calculate the electrical characteristics of solar, wind, and
hydrogen renewable energy sources under different environmental
conditions.
• Apply electronic circuit theory and simulation techniques to analyze
power electronics circuits such as dc/dc converter and dc/ac inverter.
• Design and implement a power converter to regulate output voltage
from a solar panel.
• Develop maximum power point tracker (MPPT) for extraction of
maximum power from the solar panel.
• Explain and understand how the economical, marketing and political
issues influence the development of renewable energy systems in
today’s and future society.
• In short: Broad knowledge of electrical energy systems and
management but in-depth knowledge on solar energy systems
