Non-Conventional Energy Sources Detailed Syllabus for B.
Tech third year second sem is

covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with
reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Non-Conventional Energy Sources B.Tech 2016-2017 (R16) third year
second sem is as follows.
B.Tech. III Year II Sem. L/T/P/C

Course Code:NT622OE 3/0/0/3
Course Overview: Non Conventional resources include solar energy, wind, falling water, the
heat of the earth (geothermal), plant materials (biomass), waves, ocean currents, temperature
differences in the
oceans and the energy of the tides. Non Conventional energy technologies produce power, heat
or mechanical energy by converting those resources either to electricity orto motive power.
The policy maker concerned with development of the national grid system will focus on those
resources that have established themselves commercially and are cost effective for on grid
applications. Such commercial technologies include hydroelectric power, solar energy, fuels
derived from biomass, wind energy and geothermal energy. Wave, ocean current, ocean thermal
and other technologies that are in the research or early commercial stage, as well as non-electric
Non Conventional energy technologies, such as solar water heaters and geothermal heat pumps,
are also based on Non Conventional resources, but outside the scope of this Manual.
Course Objectives:
 Graduates will demonstrate the ability to use basic knowledge in mathematics,

science and engineering and apply them to solve problems specific to mechanical
engineering (Fundamental engineering analysis skills).
 Graduates will demonstrate the ability to design and conduct experiments, interpret and
analyze data, and report results (Information retrieval skills).
 Graduates should be capable of self-education and clearly understand the value of life-
long learning (Continuing education awareness).
 Graduates will develop an open mind and have an understanding of the impact
of engineering on society and demonstrate awareness of contemporary issues
(Social awareness).
 Graduate will be able to design a system to meet desired needs within
environmental, economic, political, ethical health and safety, manufacturability and
management knowledge and techniques to estimate time, resources to complete project
(Practical engineering analysis skills).
