Description
- Purpose
- The purpose of this project is to purchase capital equipment for training college students in photoelectric solar power systems, (natural) gas turbine generators, and heat pumps. This project does not include curriculum development or operations. Indeed, the evaluation criteria for the project is limited to the successful installation of the equipment.
- Activities
- The goals and objectives of the project are to install a sufficient number of photovoltaic systems, gas turbines, and heat pumps to support the concurrent, hands-on training of 16 students. (with two semesters, 32 per year.) the budget is based on supplier quotes good until july 2024. The PI anticipates a "competitive bidding process" to determine final purchase decisions.
- Expected outcomes
- The impact is anticipated to be a better trained workforce in modern, energy-efficient technologies. The students will understand the nature of intermittent power generation by solar photovoltaic devices and different options to provide continuity, including batteries and gas turbine generators. Additionally, they will understand the operation of heat pumps and how they can be used to replace furnaces and boilers. However, given the narrow scope of this project, project evaluation is limited to verification of the installation of the equipment.
- Intended beneficiaries
- The electric power initiative will provide training opportunities to students studying modern energy-efficient technologies, who will then apply their knowledge to the design and installation of these technologies commercially.
- Subrecipient activities
- The recipient does not intend to subaward funds.
