Introduction
This unit provides students with knowledge of renewable energy technologies, energy storage systems, power electronics interfaces and associated control, and renewable energy system design and implementation. Students will be able to practice their design skills in renewable energy systems through modelling and implementation. The unit utilises the laboratory resources of the Centre for Renewable Energy and Power Systems (CREPS) enabling comprehensive experimental studies in renewable energy systems to be completed.
It is highly recommended for students to have a background in electrical machines and power electronics, or be concurrently enrolled in ENG231 - Electrical Machines and Transformers and ENG765 - Power Electronics.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.
Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units.
TNE Program units special approval requirements.
* The Final WW Date is the final date from which you can withdraw from the unit without academic penalty, however you will still incur a financial liability (see withdrawal dates explained for more information).
Learning Outcomes
1 | Design power converters and energy storage systems for renewable energy applications. |
2 | Discuss rationales for renewable energy integration and sustainable engineering practice to guide current and future decision making in professional and public domains. |
3 | Model components of renewable energy systems such as wind turbines, hydroelectric systems and photovoltaics using mathematical models or simulation software. |
4 | Design renewable energy based power systems using complementary and state of the art technologies. |
5 | Evaluate a renewable energy system design to ensure it meets relevant standards and requirements for a client. |
