(Desing of Solar and Wind Energy Systems: Principles, Constituents, and Sizing Steps).
4-8 December 2016, Crowne Plaza, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain
The present course will expose its attendees to the needed material to understand the background of two renewable energy resources namely: Solar and Wind Energy systems. The course compiles and incorporates the two previous resources with other additional power systems components to come up with a ready, compact and clean energy supplier. The course will guide the attendees to the different phases of sizing renewable energy systems to fulfill certain consumers with their energy demand/requirement. Case studies will be illustrated in this context.
The wind and solar energy systems technology capital costs and their operation and maintenance costs have declined by a large percentage. Also, their availability factors have jointly contributed to the decline of the wind and solar energy electricity cost. Such cost is highly competitive with the energy cost of the conventional power technologies. The two previous facts have encouraged energy users to consider solar and wind energy resources in being in the top list of renewable energy resources.
