Advanced Energy Lab

3 units

Laboratory experiments to illustrate the application of engineering fundamentals to the study of advanced energy generation, storage, distribution, and delivery systems. Modules include both lecture and laboratory components and explore topics such as fossil fuel combustion, solar PV and solar thermal systems, wind-derived energy, biofuels production, electrochemical energy storage. Extensive metering of energy use in Brauer Hall will be used to study systems performance including energy efficiency.
