Goal |
The students know the basic concepts of the energy sector and the basics of energy production in the rural areas. They can determine the amount of energy needed for the production of warm water and the heating of premises of a real farm, and they can select suitable solid biomass heating equipment for energy production. They can estimate the energy consumption structures of different farms. They are able to estimate the usability of the available biomass by-products for energy production on farm and small-scale district heating scales and the possibilities of solar energy on farm-scale. |
