Renewable Energy Sources

Alternative forms of energy, often referred to as mild forms of energy or renewable energy sources, are perhaps the most important effort to solve two fundamental problems facing the planet: the gradual depletion of traditional energy sources (fossil fuels) and the reduction of environmental pollution from the use of traditional energy sources.

The course examines the following alternative forms of energy and alternative energy technologies: solar energy, wind energy, water energy, geothermal energy, hydrogen production, bioenergy, and in particular, state-of-the-art photovoltaic cells (Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) , Organics Photovoltaics (OPV), and Hybrid Photovoltaics (HPV)).

Demonstration of laboratory exercises in the above-mentioned areas is an integral part of the training.
