Objective
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 know and can recognize the energy consumption structure of different farms, as well as opportunities to save energy. They can determine the bulk density and the moisture and energy content of solid biomasses according to the standards.
Content
- energy consumption on farms
- active energy saving
- storage of solid biofuels
- bioenergy heating systems
- auxiliary energy systems
- properties of solid biofuels
