This interdisciplinary program covers various renewable energy technologies, including solar (photovoltaic and concentrated solar power), wind, and geothermal, as well as energy storage options such as electrical (e.g. battery) and thermal storage, and waste-to-energy systems. Students understand the components of renewable energy systems, evaluate the potential (technical, economic, and environmental) of renewable energy at specific sites, design and assess the performance of renewable systems, study the integration of renewable energy systems with energy storage systems and with conventional energy systems. The program also covers renewable energy project management, grid integration of renewables, smart grids, net-zero buildings, and touches on renewable energy policy and environmental law.
