| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course provides an introduction to power generation technologies for students of electrical and electronic engineering. This is the first course in power and energy engineering in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Topics include fundamentals of hydraulic, thermal, and nuclear power plants, fundamentals and current trends of renewable energy resources, and batteries. | |||
| Course Goals | The goal of this course is to understand fundamentals of power generation technologies. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
"1. Introduction (1 class) Provide an overview of present conditions, future trends, etc. with respect to energy supply, including electric power, and describe the outline of the course and its goals. 2. Thermal power generation (3 classes) After reviewing the basics of thermodynamics, explain the types of thermal power stations, including combined cycle power generation, as well as the components and operating principles of thermal power generation plants. 3. Hydroelectric power generation (2 classes) After discussing the basics of hydraulics, explain the structures and characteristics of public works such as the dams, waterways, surge tanks, pipelines, etc. that make up hydroelectric power stations, as well as hydraulic turbines and hydraulic turbine generators. 4. Nuclear power generation (3 classes) After reviewing the basics of atomic physics, explain basic information on nuclear fission, which is the core of nuclear power generation, and the operation of nuclear reactors, as well as the types of nuclear power stations and nuclear fuel. 5. Electrical generation methods using renewable energy (2 classes) As well as explaining electrical generation and environmental problems, explain methods of generating electricity that use renewable energy, i.e., alternative energy sources such as solar power and wind power. 5. Electrical generation by battery (2 classes) Explain the principles of the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy, fuel cells, rechargeable lithium batteries, and so on. 6. Summary (feedback class) As well as summarizing the electrical generation methods we have studied, confirm the degree of learning attainment." |
