SDG Detail

ELECTENG 735 : Green Energy Technologies

Postgraduate course

Project description

In this course, a number of specialized topics that are of relevance to green energy research & current industry needs will be covered. Students are expected to have a good understanding of power system analysis principles covered in a typical power systems undergraduate course. The topics covered in this course may vary from year to year depending on the staff and industry interest. In 2020, the topics to be covered are: solar energy, power electronics for microgrid, energy management in microgrid, demand response management, energy storage, islanding detection, grid services, introduction to future green energy technologies and utilization. In this design project-based course, the basis for overall assessment is 60% on-course assessment and 40% design exercise. There will be no final written examination.
