Περιγραφή μαθήματος

This module explores the design, implementation, and benefits of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) combined with energy storage technologies as community-based solutions for alleviating energy poverty. Students will examine the integration of multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and biomass, with energy storage systems to create resilient and sustainable energy solutions tailored to the needs of local communities. Through theoretical learning, case studies, and hands-on projects, students will gain practical skills in designing and managing HRES, addressing energy access challenges, and fostering community engagement for sustainable development.
