PURPOSE:
Proposed program provides insight into different types and sources of energy focusing on renewable energy sources. The objective of this course is to present a overall energy picture, to present different energy transformations and processes as well as to show relationship between energy consumption, economy and environment protection.

THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE:
1. Introduction: general energy, definitions, divisions
2. Conventional sources and energy conversions
3. Non-conventional forms of energy and energy production plants
4. Energy conversions in conventional and nuclear thermal power plants
5. Processes and technologies for water energy conversions
6. Wind energy, potentials and applications
7. Earth energy and possibilities of using energy from the environment
8. 1st Colloquium for the first part of the subject
9. Solar energy: basic of solar energy, possibilities of solar energy conversion to other forms of energy.
Seminar: calculation tasks related to solar energy radiation
10. Solar energy: photovoltaic cells
Seminar: I-U characteristic of silicon photovoltaic cell, preparation and characterisation of dye sensitive solar cell
11. Electrochemical power sources: battery, supercapacitors, fuel cells
Seminar: Characterisation of battery and calculation of specific parameters, Characterisation of supercapacitor and calculation of specific parameters, Characterisation of fuel cell and calculation of specific parameters.
12 Biomass, biogas and biofuels
Seminar: Students present seminar essay related to biomass and biofuels
13. Renewable energy in industrial application. Energy storage. Smart grids.
Seminar: Students present seminar essay related to energy storage and smart grids.
14. The main aspects of legislation corresponding to renewable power sources
15. Exam

GENERAL AND SPECIFIC COMPETENCE:
Beside different alternative forms of energy this course includes the knowledge of general energetic that facilitate to understand and overcome the issues in the field of energy sustainability.

KNOWLEDGE TESTING AND EVALUATION:
Two progress evaluations during the course.
Written exam
Oral exam, seminar work

MONITORING OF THE COURSE QUALITY AND SUCCESSFULNESS:
Student´s survey

Learning outcomes
1. The student will argue the basic terms and definitions in the field of energy.
2. The student will be able to compare renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
2. The student will argue the basic principle of conversion of one form of energy into another, predict the effectiveness of individual processes, economic factors and the impact of the process on the environment.
3. The student will argue the concepts of direct and indirect energy converters.
4. The student will compare the role and importance of different energy sources.
6. Students will argue the strategy of energy development in the world, the EU and in Croatia

Learning outcomes of the graduate study of Applied Chemistry at the programme level:
1. integrate knowledge to handle complex ideas
2. explain scientific or technical concepts, data, and conclusions with the knowledge and rationale underpinning them to both specialist and non-specialist audiences in written and oral form
3. develop interaction with scientists from other disciplines on inter- or multidisciplinary problems
