The course covers energy conversion, utilization and storage for renewable technologies such as wind, solar, biomass, fuel cells and hybrid systems. Thermodynamics concepts (including the first and second law) will form the basis for modeling the renewable energy systems. The course also touches upon the environmental consequences of energy conversion and how renewable energy can reduce air pollution and global climate change. Transport Phenomena is recommended as a co-requisite, but not required.
