Course Objectives		Wind, solar and solar-hydrogen are some of the renewable energies. Additionally electricity generation from hydropower depend on hydrologic circulation and meteorological events. As a result of these reasons, a base course is necessary for wind, solar and hydropower energies at the undergraduate program of our department.
Course Description		Renewable energy sources in the world and their usage, Wind occurrence and effective parameters, General and local wind systems, Wind statistics, Determination wind energy potential , Wind energy potential estimation models, Wind turbines, Fundementals of solar energy, models of solar energy, Collectors and photovoltaic systems, Solar energy potential in Turkey, Atmospheric effects to energy efficiency, Hydropower and Wave energies, hybrid systems
Course Outcomes		1.To learn renewable energies and their potential, applications, efficiencies and costs 2.To obtain persistence of wind speed and to find regions that have high continuity wind regimes 3.Analyze time serieof wind speed data by using statistical distribution functions 4.To calculate wind potential with statistical and parametric methods 5.To decide convenient wind turbines for different wind potential areas 6.To estimate solar energy potential and analyze solar irradiation with sunshine duration data of a meteorological station 7. To learn effects of meteorological parameters to photovoltaic and hybrid systems 8. To learn relation between hydropower, wave energies and meteorology 9. To determine atmospheric situations effect to the energy efficeiny
