Locally Certified Micro Renewables
Course objectives would be to increase students' knowledge of the design and specification of domestic micro renewable systems for installation.
At present we are developing short courses in Renewable Energy, we anticipate that these courses will be ready for presentation in 2010/11. Further details will be published when information becomes available.
Five short courses would offer specialist knowledge in each of the following technologies:
- Heat pumps - This unit concentrates on the production of heat using low grade energy from the ground and air.
- Solar hot water - This unit introduces a micro generation system which generates heat from solar energy and transfers this heat energy to a heat exchanger and on to other appliances, e.g. hot water tank or under-floor heating system suitable for use in a domestic or small scale industrial building.
- Photovoltaic - This unit introduces residential or micro generation systems that generate electrical energy from sunlight.
- Aero generation - This unit introduces residential or micro generation wind turbine systems which generate electrical energy from wind.
- Domestic energy usage/conservation - The aim of this unit is to provide candidates with an overview of where we get our energy from, the engineering systems that convert it into a more convenient form and the energy conversion processes that take place from fuel being input to energy being generated.
Course available Academic Year 2010/11.
