About the Course

Renewable Energy Sources course explores various energy sources, with a focus on renewable energy and its environmental impact. It covers bioenergy, solar, wind, tidal, and geothermal energy, along with their principles, applications, and design aspects. The role of energy conservation, auditing, and management in sustainable energy utilization is also discussed. Emphasis is placed on understanding energy cycles, global energy scenarios, and innovative approaches to harnessing renewable resources.

Course Outcomes:

After successful completion of the course, the learners will be able to

  1. Explain the significance of energy sources and explain the impacts of their utilization on environment
  2. Illustrate the different bio energy sources and explain the conversion technologies
  3. Demonstrate the principle and operation of the Solar Energy Systems.   
  4. Summarize the principle and operations of Wind, Tidal, Ocean Thermal and Geothermal energy systems. 
  5. Interpret the principles of Energy conservation and Management.
