SEE8205 Solar PhotoVoltaic Energy systems

The course PV encompasses complete engineering studies for real-life applications (both stand alone and grid connected).The course presents advanced concepts of photovoltaic system integration and their accessories and auxiliary units. It addresses the electrical characteristics and modeling of solar cells and modules. Solar panels, converters and module design are addressed in depth. 

Aims

• Provide students with skills on specifying and designing system components and to build power supplies with energy optimal interface between the PV panel and load.
• To provide students with knowledge necessary in building PV modules

Learning Outcomes

• Students should be able to distinguish between various PV types and estimate their efficiency using the knowledge obtained. 
• Students should be able to design PV modules for different applications
• Students should be able to carry out tasks of designing modules
