ME 470 - Future Energy Systems


The course provides an overview of current energy systems and the related global challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution, declining supplies of oil and global energy shortage. Possible short- and long-term solutions are examined, including renewable energy sources (wind, solar, biomass, geothermal) but also conventional sources (combined gas/steam, combined heat/power). Strategies for reducing the overall energy consumption and the consumption of oil in transportation will also be discussed.
Corequisite(s): ME 346  or permission of the instructor.
