Renewable Energy Systems

Building on your thermodynamics background, this course treats energy conversion as a unified engineering problem: how to move usefully between thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiative forms while accounting for efficiency, exergy losses, and environmental cost. You'll work through Rankine and organic Rankine cycle analyses, size solar collectors and wind turbines, and run economic comparisons across solar, geothermal, nuclear, and wind technologies, culminating in a project and written exams. It's an applied capstone-style elective that turns the abstract second-law machinery from ME 203/204 into the calculations actually used to evaluate real power systems and climate-relevant claims.
