Course content LECTURE The lecture covers basic problems in usage of renewable photovoltaic energy in power grid as well as designing of solar cells and installations. As the base the principles of solar cell structure will be covered as well as the role of modern CAD tools in this process. The outcomes of PV cells and technology processes simulations will be explained basing on the practical examples. The second part of the lecture is aimed at methodics and requirements for the PV installation projects. The partcular steps and methods of their reaistion will be explained. Most imporatnt CAD tools for these tasks will be explained as well. LABORATORY In the laboratory classes, practice in designing power PV systems based on on-grid and off-grid models. Classes will show practical process of planning these kind of systems depending on energy needs and the resources available in a specific location. Designing and verification will be carried out using standard CAD software. Computer practice will be competed by testing real elements of the hybrid system under operating conditions.
