ECE180J: Advanced Renewable Energy Sources, Storage, and Smart Grids
Provides a comprehensive overview of renewable energy, storage, and smart grids. Fundamental energy-conversion limits based on physics and existing material properties are discussed. Various sources and facilities, such as solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal, tidal energy, and fuel cells are described. Solar- and wind-site assessment, electric vehicles, as well as sustainable microgrids are also discussed. Finally, the latest research on smart grids and smart cities is introduced. Taught in conjunction with course 80J. Students who enroll in this class will learn how to use Matlab to solve engineering problems.(Formerly EE 180J.) Prerequisite(s): (AM 11A or MATH 11A or MATH 19A or MATH 19B); and (STAT 5 or STAT 7 or STAT 17 or STAT 131 or CSE 107). PHYS 5C and PHYS 5N or PHYS 6 C and PHYS 6N are recommended.
