Energy Field of Study Research Projects

|||||

Energy Field of Study is an academic unit of the School of Environment Resources and Development.
It comprises of three areas of specialization, namely:

Energy Technology (ET),
Energy Economics and Planning (EEP)
Electric Power Systems Management (EPSM)

Energy laboratory facilities include two indoor laboratories, an Energy Park, and a meteorological station.

The indoor laboratories are equipped with experiment setups, testing apparatus and measuring equipment for thermal and electrical management studies.

Energy Laboratory serves as a facility for:

Experiments complimenting class lectures,
Students’ and projects’ research,
Monitoring and compiling solar radiation and daylight measurement data,
Testing of renewable energy and energy delivery equipment, and
Hands-on training

Laboratory functions are focused mainly on solar thermal energy, photovoltaics, biomass energy, building energy management, heat pump, thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and electrical measurement and analysis.

Energy computer laboratory has software for power system simulation, simulation of thermal equipment and modeling of energy system.

Energy Park covers 3980 square meters outdoor research and demonstration facilities comprising of photovoltaic systems, solar thermal systems, biomass research facilities and daylighting setups.

The meteorological station measures and records direct, diffuse and global solar radiation and other meteorological and daylighting data.
