Course Aims | ||||||||||
Wind and marine energy are two of the most important types of renewable energy. This course introduces the basic science and engineering behind systems that convert wind, wave and tide into usable energy. Advanced fluid dynamics and aerodynamics are introduced to understand the working principal of wind and marine energy systems. The outcome is to furnish students with the skills to evaluate the performance of wind and marine energy systems. Topics include resource availability and characteristics, working principle of wind and marine energy systems, aerodynamics and fluid dynamics for energy systems, design consideration and environmental impact. Computational labs will expose students to the design of wind and marine energy systems via computational fluid dynamics. | ||||||||||
