Solar thermal and photovoltaic
Goals
Understand and evaluate the potential of solar energy from source to operation
Programme
Introduction. notions of light matter interactions Solar irradiation: detection of the sun, irradiance & irradiation of a sensor (in connection with BE) Solar thermal plan (principles, yield calculation, outlook)/concentrated (examples) Photovoltaic: semiconductor bases, PN junction with and without illumination, performance limits, main filières, multijunctions. Photovoltaic module, integration into the grid. Place of solar in the mix.
Sustainable development
Sustainable Development Goals
DD&RS level 2
A substantial part of the activities is dedicated to environmentally sustainable development and social responsibility.
Programme elements related to sustainable development goals
Lecture on the principles of solar receivers and photovoltaics modules: principles on energy production, yields, place in the energy mix.
Assessment method
Marks of BE solar irradiation (with individual report) and TP photovoltaic cell (group report at the end of the session) 2H written test
