For all other ELECTIVE – I THEORY subjects do refer to ELECTIVE – I THEORY. The detail syllabus for renewable energy sources and energy conservtion is as follows.
Rationale:
Electrical Energy requirement is the major crisis and hence any saving in Electrical energy is equivalent to production of Electrical Energy. Saving can be achieved by the utilization of Renewable Energy Sources.
Objectives:
- Study about the fundamentals of Energy.
- Study of construction and principle of Wind energy, Solar energy, Tidal energy and Bio energy.
- Understand the PV design and its components.
- Understand the energy management and auditing techniques.
- Study the energy conservation process.
