Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Solar for Electrical Engineering. It covers the significance of solar energy including the historical development; the basic principles of photovoltaics, solar radiation and its measurement, solar energy resources and availability; the solar cells and their types, semiconductor physics, P-N junction and its behavior, photovoltaic effect and working principles and efficiency and performance metrics of solar cells; the solar panel technologies, monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film solar panels, manufacturing processes and materials; the pros and cons of different panel types; and the comparison of efficiency, cost and application areas. Further, the course will also discuss the components, solar modules, inverters, charge controllers and batteries; the sizing and design considerations, load estimation and energy storage requirements of a solar power system; the best practices and safety guidelines, mounting options for solar panels and writing and interconnection methods; the grounding and lightning protection, system maintenance and troubleshooting and grid connection process and requirements; the net metering policies and regulations, grid integration challenges and solutions and power quality issues and mitigation techniques; the monitoring systems for solar energy systems; and the data acquisition and analysis, performance monitoring and fault detection.During this interactive course, participants will learn the remote monitoring and control and optimization techniques for maximizing system efficiency; the financial analysis, cost estimation, ROI calculation, government incentives and subsidies, project financing options, business models and market trends; the concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, solar thermal technologies and emerging trends in solar research and development; the next generation solar cells, materials and integration of solar other renewable energy sources; the policy frameworks and regulations for solar energy and environmental impacts of solar energy; and the life cycle assessment (LCA) of solar systems and sustainability considerations, eco-design, future prospects and challenges in the solar energy sector.
