1. Rationale:
Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) energy systems convert solar energy into a convenient electrical energy form by utilizing
the photovoltaic effect. The Country’s solar potential is of 748 GW assuming 3% of the waste land area to be
covered by Solar PV modules. To meet the increasing demand in electrical energy, Solar PV energy conversion
system has drawn the tremendous attention in recent years and impetus is given towards harnessing solar energy
leading to reduction in fossil fuel costs and carbon-footprint. An AET Diploma Engineer shall have the knowledge
of the Solar PV System, its components and demonstrate its operation and performance. Further shall select the
Solar PV system components for various applications and interpret the solar PV market growth with economic
analysis.
2. Course Outcomes/Skill Sets

On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to:
CO-01 Identify the different components of a Solar PV system and its operation.
CO-02 Demonstrate characteristics of Photovoltaic Modules and Charge controllers.
CO-03 Identify and explain different types of batteries and inverters for solar applications.
CO-04 Acquire knowledge on PV market growth and economic analysis of a Photovoltaic System.

1. Rationale: Thermal energy refers to the energy contained within a system that is responsible for
its temperature. Heat is the flow of thermal energy. Thermodynamics, deals with how heat is
transferred between different systems and how work is done in the process. Hence, the study of
thermodynamics plays a vital role in understanding the concepts of Thermal energy. Renewable
thermal energy is the technology of gathering thermal energy from a renewable energy source for
immediate use or for storage in a thermal battery for later use. The most popular form of renewable
thermal energy is the sun and the solar energy is harvested by solar collectors. Therefore, this
subject is introduced to understand thermodynamic principles and its role in heat and work.
Further, Solar thermal energy also plays a key role and hence students are introduced to solar
energy, components to extract solar energy and the thermodynamic cycles associated with energy
conversions. Energy analysis is introduced in brief to stress on sustainability in energy utilization.
2. Course Outcomes: At the end of the Course, the student will be able to:
CO-01 Apply Thermodynamics concepts in Renewable Energy Sources

CO-02 Represent various Psychometric Properties and Processes in a Psychometric Chart

1. Rationale
Bioenergy constitutes energy derived from Biomass and Biogas. Biomass is renewable, widely available and is carbon-
neutral having the potential to provide significant employment in the rural areas. Bioenergy technologies viz.,
Combustion and Cogeneration in Sugar and Mills are promoted for optimal use of country’s biomass resources (viz.,
bagasse, rice husk, straw, coconut shells, saw dust etc.,) for grid power generation. Biogas is produced when bio-
degradable organic materials/wastes such as cattle-dung, biomass from farms, gardens, municipal waste etc. is
subjected to a scientific process. An AET Diploma Engineer shall have the knowledge and necessary skills pertaining
to different Bioenergy technologies, bio-conversion methodologies, construction and operation of Biogas plants.

CO-01 Identify and compare different Bioenergy technologies.
Analyze different bio-conversion methodologies like combustion, Pyrolysis and Gasification
CO-02
and its operations.
CO-03 Select site, Size and construct a simple Bio-gas power plant.
CO-04 Describe different types of Biofuels and its technology.

Electrical switch gears and protective devices are the main components of power systems in any type of industry like
power sector, Renewable energy power plants, manufacturing, process industry, hospitals, hotels, commercial
buildings etc. An Alternate Energy Technologies diploma graduate should be capable of testing, commissioning,
troubleshooting and maintenance of the electrical switchgears and protection devices.
2. Course Outcomes/Skill Sets: On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to
CO-01 Demonstrate the operation and testing of a given switchgear.
Select a switchgear for a given application and list the procedures for preventive maintenance of
CO-02
such a switchgear to ensure it performs optimally.
Demonstrate the testing of a protection scheme for a given power system including all its
CO-03
elements (Transformers, Bus bars and Feeders).
Identify accessories of a control panel and demonstrate the testing procedure of a given LV control

1.Rationale:
With increasing demand in Electrical Power, efforts are made to explore new ways of generating Electrical
Power by reducing carbon footprint. Wind energy, which transforms the power of an inexhaustible wind
resource into electricity, is sustainable and the country has good wind potential to harness wind energy.
Similarly small hydro-power can provide clean, renewable, and relatively inexpensive energy as they can be
constructed in any location where there is enough water flow and head to make energy generation viable,
even in rural or undeveloped locations. An Electrical Diploma Engineer shall have the necessary knowledge
and skills in working and operational aspects of wind and small hydro systems.

CO-01 Identify different types of wind power plant and its components.
CO-02 Explain the different types of wind turbine working principles and its operations.
CO-03 Design small wind turbine.
CO-04 Identify different components of small hydro power plant.
CO-05 Describe Hydraulic Turbines types and Operational Aspects.

1.Rationale: Energy is a vital input for the development and economic growth of a country. The installed
capacity of solar power has crossed 13% of the total installed generation capacity in the country; there is a
growing demands for both off-Grid and on-grid Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems. The Solar PV system and its
components are to be designed as per the specification followed by installation, set up and maintenance of key
system components such as solar panels, Inverters, Batteries, cabling etc., for optimal system operation. Solar
PV System technology is rapidly upgrading/changing therefore, the design and installation protocols should
be commensurate with the new changes. An AET Diploma Engineer shall design a Solar PV System for a given
specification, identify the necessary tools and tackles used for its installation, prepare bill of materials and
follow the best practices in operation, maintenance, testing and commissioning of Solar PV systems.

CO-01 Design a simple off-grid solar PV System
CO-02 Identify and use the tools & tackles used for solar PV system installation
CO-03 Prepare bill of material and install electrical components of solar PV system.

1.Rationale
Energy saved is Energy generated; this is accomplished by Energy Management and its Audit. Energy
Management includes planning and operation of energy production and energy consumption units as well as
energy distribution and storage. Objectives are resource conservation, climate protection and cost savings,
while the users have permanent access to the energy they need. Energy Audit is an inspection survey and an
analysis of energy flows for energy conservation leading to reduction of carbon footprint. An AET Diploma
Engineer shall have the knowledge and ability to demonstrate Energy Management and its Audit and further
encourage implementing Demand Side Management strategies.

CO-01 Explain the need and approach of energy audit and management.
CO-02 Analyse energy efficient lighting sources, Power quality problems and its remedies.
CO-03 Demonstrate the benefits of DSM and DSM implementation strategy.
