Alternative energy sources and environmentally friendly transport
Goals of the Educational Programme
The purpose of the program is to gain knowledge, skills and abilities in the branch of electromechanics, the use of non-traditional and renewable energy sources in the energy supply systems of industrial enterprises and the design of environmentally friendly modes of transport.
Students learn to apply modern developments in the design of environmentally friendly modes of transport, special attention is paid to the study of systems for converting solar radiation into electrical and thermal energy, the use of wind energy, sea streams and thermal temperature gradient to generate electricity; opportunities for the use of biomass and solid waste for the production of electricity and heat.
Recipients of the Educational Programme
The program is addressed to applicants interested in gaining knowledge in the branch of electromechanics in transport and other branches of the economy.
The program will be interesting for those who plan to connect their future with the design, maintenance and operation of modern power supply systems and environmentally friendly modes of transport. One of the main aspects of the program is alternative energy sources and environmentally friendly transport, their implementation and ensuring uninterrupted operation.
