This course looks at the operating principle of a range of non-conventional energy resources, materials used, characterization, and key performance characteristics. The technologies looked at will include, Solar energy, Wind, Batteries, Fuel cells, and Geothermal conversion. The advantages and limitations of these technologies in comparison to conventional sources of energy will also be examined.
Nptel mainly consists of 12-week courses. Every week NPTEL provides video lectures as well as different study materials. Every week one quiz is provided. Each quiz has a specific time deadline. After the end of time, deadline NPTEL provides a solution of that quiz as well as provides marks obtained by the registered candidate. Out of 12 assignments, top 8 assignment marks are considered. Weightage of assignment marks is 40 %.
