Aims

Study of the sources of electrical energy based on photovoltaic conversion, eolian generation, magneto-caloric conversion and magneto-hydrodynamic conversion (MHD)

Content Photovoltaic generation presizing of an stand alone installation, charaterisation of solar modules, use and modelisation of photovoltaic arrays, modelling of solar radiation, ancillary issues ( batteries, power electronic converters), connection to the grid Eolian generation reminder on the behaviour of wind turbines, type of electrical generators, connection to the grid, energy storage Thermo-electric conversion thermoelectric effect, effenciency of a couple, merit factor, conditioning of the energy generated Magneto-caloric conversion magneto caloric phenomena, modelling, possible uses for electric energy generation MHD ionisation of gases, conductivity of plasmas, liquids and emulsions , hall effect, general and simplified equations
Other information Prerequisites : Only a basic knowledge of the physic of electricity is required. Assessment : The evaluation is individual and oral during the session, on the basis of reports issued by the students during the year (in groups).
