The student utilizes the basics of energy capture for key wind and solar technologies and an understanding of the relationship between different technology sub-disciplines learned in RET C 101 as the foundation for in-depth learning about how the renewable energy is then transformed into controlled, usable mechanical and electrical energy.
Prerequisite
RET C115
and
The student needs the knowledge learned from RET C115 regarding basic DC & AC electricity and safe operation practices around energized circuits. He/she also needs to know the proper selection and usage of appropriate test and personal protective equipment specific to renewable energy (e.g. hazards of arc-flash) when he/she is working with power electronics and energized circuits in the lab portion of this class and performs wire tracing and isolates faults to field-replaceable components.
Prerequisite
INSF C070
The student needs the knowledge from INSF-C070, or its equivalent, the basic safe operating principles (SOPs) and the proper selection and usage of appropriate test and personal protective equipment to prevent potential industrial workplace hazards. The student might encounter these potential hazards in the lab, and if he/she is ignorant about safety, it can lead to personal injury or equipment damage.
