Renewable Energy Sources (FSI-UOZ)

Academic year 2023/2024
Supervisor: prof. Ing. Jiří Pospíšil, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: EÚ all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:

Provide a comprehensive overview of renewable energy sources used in the CR and worldwide, including transformations to other types of energy, together with basic procedures for designing appropriate renewable energy systems according to standards.
Learning outcomes and competences:

The student will gain an overview of renewable energy sources in technical practice and their environmental, economic and energy aspects. They will learn to design individual renewable energy sources according to the relevant standards.
Prerequisites:
Knowledge of hydrodynamics and thermomechanics
Course contents:

The analysis of energy transformations in machines forms the basis of the first part of the lectures. It is the basis for the application in the following lectures on renewable energies. The next part of the course is devoted to the most important renewable and secondary energy sources. Exercises focus on the design of specified types of renewable energy systems for a selected building according to the relevant standards.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:

The exam takes the form of a written test. To successfully pass the exam, the student must achieve at least 50% of the maximum achievable positive points.

Credit will be awarded on the basis of continuous completion of the project and its final submission.
Controlled participation in lessons:
Participation in the exercises is systematically controlled
Type of course unit:
    Lecture  13 × 2 hrs. optionally
