Course description
The goals are to impart basics of renewable energy resources, energy conversion processes, power
converters and electrical machines. The acquired knowledge can help understand fundamental functions
of a renewable energy system in practice, or further study on renewable resources in course projects and
senior project.
In particular, the course should cover:
- Overview of renewable energy resources in Vietnam and all over the world.
- Introduction of a photovoltaic system.
- Introduction of power system wind power system .
- Introduction of biomass and biofuels
- Introduction of other renewable resources.
- Energy storage systems
- Renewable energy management
Methodology applied in laboratory activities and project work

 9 hours lab work will help the students understanding the renewable energy resource
 Demonstration from lab technician
 Group discussion
Assessment
Students should attend the lecture, although absence is not punished.
Homework assignments are normally due in 2 weeks time, from the moment they are announced
(posted on the e-learning).
The final grade of the student depends on the following metrics:
Homework assignment, and mid-term examination will be added together to make up the first mark
(50%), and their weighting factors are to be fixed by the instructor and announced to the student right at
the beginning of the course.
Final examination (50%) will make use of writing format, lasting 90 minutes.
