Summary
The subject deals with properties and ways of utilising alternative, especially renewable energy sources, which can be used without combustion processes. I.e. utilisation of solar, wind, wind, low-potential heat of natural mass and sea and ocean energy. The course also focuses on other alternative technologies such as fuel cells, hydrogen technologies, thermoelectric generators, etc.
