ABOUT THE COURSE:
The course “Renewable Energy Sources: Fundamentals and Technologies” provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to renewable energy systems and their scientific basis. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate learners, this course covers global and Indian energy scenarios, the need for decarbonization, and the growing role of renewables. Core modules explore solar PV, solar thermal technologies, thermochemical and biochemical biomass conversion, wind energy, and hydropower, emphasizing resource assessment, design principles, performance analysis, and techno-economic aspects. An overview of emerging renewable options, including geothermal, tidal, and wave energy systems, is also covered. Learners gain practical understanding through simplified models, examples, and case insights. The course concludes with a discussion of hybrid systems and India’s roadmap to maximize the share of renewables in the power mix. By the end, participants will be able to evaluate renewable technologies and apply engineering fundamentals for sustainable energy planning
INTENDED AUDIENCE: UG, PG, PhD students and renewable energy consultants
PREREQUISITES: Class 12 with Maths and Science
INDUSTRY SUPPORT: -Acme Solar, Suzlon, Adani Green Energy
