Program Learning Outcomes
A graduate of the Integrated Energy Systems AOS or AAS program should be able to:
- Identify common types of alternative energy system applications for both stand-alone and utility interactive systems with and without energy storage.
- Identify the various safety hazards associated with both operating and non-operating alternative energy and utility systems and components.
- Define basic terminology, including solar radiation, solar irradiance, solar irradiation, solar insolation, solar constant, air mass, ecliptic plane, equatorial plane, pyranometer, solar declination, solstice, equinox, solar time, solar altitude angle, solar azimuth angle, solar window, array tilt angle, array azimuth angle, and solar incidence angle.
- Given a stand-alone application with a defined electrical load and available solar energy resource, along with PV module specifications, size and configure the PV array, battery subsystem, and other equipment as required, to meet the electrical load during the critical design period.
- Draw & prepare simple one-line electrical diagrams for interactive and stand-alone PV systems showing all major components and subsystems.
- Review and recognize the importance of manufacturers’ written and instructors verbal instructions with regard to mounting & installation procedures.
- Understand the safety requirements for operating and maintaining different types of electrical systems and related equipment and tools.
- Understand and describe utility systems that prepare students for entry-level employment in a utility job.
- Understand Delta & Wye system: their voltages, power factor, and advantages/disadvantages of each.
- Demonstrate safe, fluid, wooden pole climbing skills sets for typical utility installations at 35’.
- Understand the federal, state, and local regulatory processes and utility policies for integrating alternative energy into the electrical grid.
