Course details

This course explains the basics of renewable energy, which comes from natural sources. It mainly focuses on solar, wind, and biomass energy. Students will learn how solar energy is produced from sunlight, how wind energy is generated using turbines, and how biomass energy is made from plants and organic waste. The course also teaches how energy is converted into usable power and the basic principles behind different energy systems. Students will explore simple ideas of system design and learn how these energy systems are planned and built. Additionally, the course discusses ways to use renewable energy in real life, helping students understand clean and sustainable energy sources.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're reviewing a utility-scale PV plant after a DC combiner fuse has failed open. The crew asks why string backfeed still scorched connectors. You're googling "PV string backfeed despite blown fuse hazard" on your phone. What does the DC fuse NOT protect against in this case?

Q: A small wind turbine is planned for a coastal pump station with frequent salt spray. You're searching "small wind turbine material selection coastal salt spray" before approving the GA. Which tower material choice best fits the duty without overengineering?

Q: A biomass gasifier feeds hot, wet syngas into a heat exchanger. The vendor datasheet is within spec on temperature and pressure but borderline on sulfur. You're googling "biomass syngas sulfur corrosion stainless steel". Which degradation mechanism dominates at 400–500°C?

Q: You're sanity-checking a rooftop solar estimate and type "rule of thumb solar PV energy per kW per day India". For a 10 kW grid-tied PV system at 5 kWh/m²/day average insolation, what's a defensible daily energy output?
