AquaU Renewable Energy & Biotechnology Program will offer hands-on courses in the areas of solar energy, biomass, wind energy and applied biotechnology.
The use of solar, biomass and wind energy is not a new concept; however continuous development of new improved systems will be critical to turn these technologies into a global commercial success. Currently solar energy is split up into three general fields:
1. Concentrated Photovoltaic Solar Energy: this is where solar panels are used to convert sunlight directly into electricity.
2. Solar Water Heating: This is a method of heating up water through the use of solar energy, usually done through flat-plate collectors on the roof of a house. It is a very efficient and energy saving way of heating water even in colder climates.
3. Concentrated Solar Power (CSP): Concentrated solar power is created by focusing (or redirecting) direct sunlight onto a certain area, in order to heat liquids or gasses, which are then used to generate electricity. Currently this last method is one of the cheapest ways to convert solar energy into electricity.
4. Concentrated Solar Heat and Power (CSHP): Novel developments in CSP allow the combination of photovoltaic and CSP to work synergistically, which improves the efficiency of capturing solar radiation about 3 to 4 fold over standard PV cells. Initially the sunlight is concentrated onto a prism coated PV cell, where electricity is created, while the heat of the concentrated light beam is used to heat up liquids that run underneath the PV units.
