AET2200 Alternative Energy Control & Delivery
This course will provide an overview of energy transfer and control systems. In particular, the principles of power switching circuits for renewable energy applications, particularly solar and wind energy, will be introduced. Various power devices will be explained. Then, theory of rectifier (AC to DC conversion) and inverter (DC to AC conversion) will be explored to detail. Other protective and relay circuits that control the battery charging will be covered, as well as the control and voltage regulating circuits. 3 credit hours. Course Requirements:
AET1200 or
