Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to teach students the technical characteristics, application areas, and related energy storage technologies of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, wave, tidal currents, geothermal, biomass, and small hydropower). It also aims to equip students with the ability to analyze the role of these resources in energy systems in terms of environmental sustainability and economic feasibility.
Course Content
The content of this course consists of fundamental concepts related to renewable energy sources and the technologies that enable their utilization. The characteristics, potentials, and application areas of wind, solar, wave, tidal current, geothermal, and biomass energy sources are examined in detail. In addition, the operating principles and energy production processes of small hydropower plants are evaluated. Energy storage systems and their role in integrating renewable energy sources into the grid are also emphasized. Furthermore, the current status, development trends, and applications of renewable energy sources in the world and in Türkiye are analyzed, and their contribution to energy systems in terms of environmental sustainability and economic feasibility is discussed.
