TEC 5607 - Wind and Hydro Power Technology (3) [DL]

When Offered: Fall, Spring
This course will introduce students to the basic concepts, tools, and techniques needed to design and construct systems that convert wind and hydro resources into electricity. Students will study how to measure these renewable resources, estimate the power that could be produced from them and quantify the impact on climate change mitigation. Students will also design and construct complete renewable electricity systems and become familiar with many contemporary products used in wind and hydro generation systems. The course may include classroom and “hands-on” design and construction activities and field trip experiences. Content mastery and analytical problem solving at the graduate level is expected.
Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. [Dual-listed with TEC 4607.]
