 Asst. lecturer (Firas Fadhil Salih) from the Renewable Energy Research Center participated in a training course entitled “Photovoltaic System” at "Delft University of Technology" through edx platform.

The course includes design of photovoltaic systems, ranging from utility-scale solar farms to residential-scale systems stand-alone and grid-connected systems. The course is designed to be completed within 8 weeks with devote around 10 hours per week. The course included several topics:

** Estimating the effects of the position of the sun and solar irradiance on PV module performance

** Understanding the design and function of the different components of a PV-system: PV modules, inverters, DC-DC converters, batteries, charge controllers and cables

** Designing a PV-system, ranging from a residential rooftop system to a utility-scale solar farm

** Understanding the economics and ecology of PV-systems.

A participation certificate was awarded after passing 3 exams with a score of 80%.
