The course has been designed to introduce the technology of solar photovoltaic engineering, grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) design and off-grid-connected photovoltaic (OGCPV) design. The main topic of this course consists of basic solar engineering, photovoltaic technology, GCPV and OGCPV system design, performance evaluation, operation and maintainance. The GCPV/OGCPV design software and related national and international standards are also discussed in this course
This course aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. The students will learn to create computational models to understand and predict something about the world around them. Among the topics covered are optimization, data analysis and statistical learning. At the end of the course, the students will apply the learned skills to explore, process, analyze, and model data in a mini-project. This course will use MATLAB as the programming platform.
