MEC270 — Clean Energy Technology
MEC 270 - Clean Energy Technology MEC 270 - Clean Energy Technology This course examines mechatronics and its clean energy applications related to industry and system maintenance standards. Control systems for clean energy production and storage will be examined, and explore how solar fields, wind farms, and energy storage systems are controlled and integrated into the electric power grid. Laboratory experiences will include date collection and analysis of energy data obtained from clean energy production systems and application of PLC troubleshooting procedures to improve efficiencies. Acquire data from various mechatronic systems to improve efficiencies. Interpret electrically schematic diagrams, control flowcharts, and user manuals. Apply knowledge of Direct Digital Control (DDC) systems for use in Building Management Systems (BMS). Troubleshoot problems with AC and DC motors, variable frequency drives (VFDs).
