Furthermore, their application is more and more present in industrial processes units, aiming to save resources, reduce the operational cost and the environmental impact (or equivalently improve the environmental profile) of a unit.\r\nThe course focuses on basic principles of electrical energy production systems using solar photovoltaics (PV), wind generators (WG), hydroelectric systems and biomass\/biogas systems, giving emphasis on study, design and control issues.\r\nAs an elective course it provides valuable experience and expertise to the new industrial and management engineer as regards a developing field of electrical energy systems technology, with increasing penetration level and various applications that require study, design, operation, monitoring and maintenance from well trained application engineers. The consistent and successful completion of the course, has the expected outcome to enable the student to:\r\na) be in a position to understand the importance of RES systems for the environment and the economy\r\nb) possess knowledge as regards new developments in electrical energy production and use systems as well as distributed generation systems\r\nc) be acquainted with the basic parts of a RES-based electrical production system\r\nd) be in a position to perform basic design of a RES-based electrical production system.","skills":"Practical application of knowledge, search, analysis and synthesis of information and data using appropriate technologies; Adjustment\u00a0 to new situations; Decision making; Autonomous work; Team work; Work in an interdisciplinary environment. Design and project management; promotion of free, creative and inductive thinking; priorities setting; production of new research ideas; compliance to guidelines of good practices.","teaching_methods":"Class theory, teaching in discussion groups and students\u2019 active participation. The lectures are supported by presentations of the total content, while the whiteboard is used: a) for further elaboration of selected thematic sections, b) for the promotion of the students\u2019 active participation in step-by-step problems solving and examples process.","students_evaluation":"The course grade is formulated by a final written exam which may contain: multiple choice questions, problems solving based on knowledge acquired, short answers\u2019 questions, comparative assessment of theoretical principles.","bib_textbooks":"1.
