New learning design
Description:
learning design based on a group assignment for several groups while providing supervision and feedback as the group move through different design stages.
Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Analyze the different energy producers and be able to identify and analyze how to replace conventional power plants with renewable energy sources.
- Explain and describe the functional principles of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biogas, etc., as well as conventional energy systems and build prototypes of integrated energy systems
- Have an insight into and understanding of the challenge of grid connection and integration of these systems into the future electrical system
- Have an understanding of production prices on renewable plants, as well as an understanding of the energy market mechanism
- Report of the design of a fully off the grid house with energy provided by renewable energy sources.
