Bachelor Program in Renewable Energy (INGENE), admission category Y-veiCourse contents
Autumn: Introduction to energy. Introduction to writing reports. Learning to observe and measure quantities related to energy. The laboratory work will only include experiments on thermal energy. The course will follow ENE109 Energy lab, but lectures and laboratory work on electrical energy will be omitted.
Spring: The most abundant renewable and non-renewable energy sources are reviewed. Options for production, storage and use of energy are presented. The fundamental principles of solar heat and electricity production, hydro power, wind power, wave power, tidal power, bioenergy and other energy resources are explained and explored.
Learning outcomes
During the course, the students will learn how to:
-
calculate the amount of energy available from various energy sources
-
evaluate pros and cons associated with the exploitation of the mentioned energy sources.
-
be able to conduct basic experiments involving energy
-
know how to present experimental work and results in a written report
Examination requirements
All laboratory exercises must be completed, and all mandatory reports must be approved. An overview of the exercises and number of reports will be communicated to the students through the digital learning platform Canvas at the start of the course.
