By completing the course, the student will gain mainly factual knowledge in the field of renewable sources and energy storage. This knowledge will enable him to competently analyze and design various technological solutions in the application of renewable sources and energy storage. The student will be able to design an island photovoltaic system with energy storage, design a suitable type of renewable source for the site, calculate the energy efficiency of the system, describe the operating principle of hydrogen fuel cell, etc. The course provides all important information that students should know to complete the following master's courses:
Alternative Energy Sources – MPC-AZE
Reenable energy sources – MPC-OZE
Energy Storage Technologies – MPC-UEO

The course is designed as introduction to the topic of renewable energy sources and energy storage. There is no need to any other prerequisites, knowledge obtained during secondary (middle) school is sufficient.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the way that given course is regulated, and they are described in Article 7 of the study and examination regulations of BUT.

The theoretical test consisting of knowledge from laboratory exercises is awarded 10 points maximum. Students can get another 30 points maximum for all correctly and fully elaborated laboratory tasks. Minimal extent of elaborated laboratory tasks and other conditions needed for successful completion of the course are stated in the announcement issued by the supervisor of the course each year. The final exam is awarded 60 points maximum. The final exam will be held distant (online) way via e-learning.
