Description
In this module, students will learn the current state of renewable energy with the focus on mainstream and emerging renewable energy technologies, understanding the role and impact of materials innovations on actual sustainability of renewable energy technologies and global challenges for achieving net zero carbon emissions targets through life-cycle analysis. The module will include an overview of renewable energy, materials challenges appreciation and materials innovation approaches for ensuring that mainstream and emerging renewable energies (e.g. hydropower, wind, solar, marine energies) achieve market competitiveness and are truly sustainable.听 This module will also introduce the innovative through-life engineering principles to renewable energy technologies and services, equipping students with critical awareness of through-life engineering principles from conception, through design, manufacture and operational life, to end of life disposal of any mainstream and emerging renewable energy technologies. This module will also develop students with a wide range of different abilities and skills in communication and teamwork, enabling them to be well-prepared for future employment in relevant industries as well asas further studies at doctoral level.
