MSBTE K Scheme – 315337 Renewable Energy Technology

The MSBTE K Scheme Renewable Energy Technology subject is an important part of the Diploma in Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering curriculum. It focuses on the study of alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, biomass, hydro, geothermal, tidal, and fuel cells.

This subject teaches students how renewable energy systems are designed, operated, and integrated into existing energy networks. As the world moves towards sustainable development, this subject is highly relevant for future engineers.

 

Importance of Renewable Energy Technology

• Reduces dependence on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.
• Helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and climate change impacts.
• Provides clean, sustainable, and eco-friendly energy.
• Promotes energy security for growing populations.
• Supports rural electrification in remote areas.
• Encourages green jobs and eco-friendly industries.
• Plays a key role in Smart Grid and Smart City projects.

 

MSBTE K Scheme Syllabus Overview – Renewable Energy Technology

The syllabus covers different renewable energy sources, conversion technologies, and applications.

   

 Unit 1: Introduction to Renewable Energy

• Difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources.
• Energy scenario in India and the world.
• Role of renewable energy in sustainable development.
• Government policies and initiatives for renewable energy.

     

Unit 2: Solar Energy

• Solar radiation and measurement techniques.
• Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems: working principle, modules, and arrays.
• Solar thermal systems: water heating, solar cookers, solar drying.
• Applications in homes, industries, and power generation.

     

Unit 3: Wind Energy

• Basics of wind energy conversion.
