Understanding their availability, limitations and challenges is critical towards their successful application in our current engineering systems. In this unit you will gain an in-depth understanding of the operation, characteristics, energy production profiles, electrical grid integration aspects, as well as economic considerations, of the most important renewable energy technologies. The unit will also introduce key energy storage technologies that can be coupled with renewable energy sources such as wind and solar to compensate for their intermittent generation profile. This unit will draw on the concepts learned in EGB120, and will develop important understanding required for the more advanced units EGH451 and EGH452.","title-full":"EGB351 Renewable Electrical Energy Sources","title-short":"Renewable Electrical Energy Sources","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=EGB351&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=EGB351","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=EGB351"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
