Academic Year: 2026-2027 Semester: 5 th Category of the Course: MOPEC Prerequisite: Students should have fundamental understanding of basic knowledge of Mathematics, Physics, and Environmental Science. Understanding fundamental concepts such as energy forms, units, power calculations, heat transfer, electricity basics, and simple engineering drawing is essential. Familiarity with conventional energy resources, energy conversion principles, and basic electrical components like voltage, current, and circuits will be helpful. Students should also possess awareness of environmental issues such as climate change, pollution, and sustainability. Basic computer skills for data analysis, simulations, and report preparation are desirable. This foundational knowledge will support better understanding of solar, wind, biomass, and other renewable energy technologies and applications. Rationale: Renewable & Green Energy technologies are emerging as Energy Sources and technologies of the Future. The Energy Sector has been identified as a sector having maximum impact on global warming and Climate Change. More than 70% of environment related issues are caused by our energy demand and utilization which is mostly 'hydrocarbons' based. 'Decarbonization of Economy' is the modern mantra for saving Planet Earth from a potential environmental disaster. Promoting and facilitating rapid development of these 'hydrocarbon-free' technologies has become a priority worldwide. Deployment of Renewable Energy Sources for meeting our present and future energy demand is an immediate need for any nation. There is going to be huge demand of engineers/ technical professionals / manpower with in-depth knowledge, exposure and understanding about Renewable and Green Energy technologies. This course will provide the basic knowledge of prospective RE technologies, viz. solar energy, wind energy, bio energy, ocean energy, geothermal energy etc. This course would develop skills related to proper designing, constructing, operating, and monitoring RE systems. This course is concerning 'Energy' which is subject for all disciplines of engineering and mechanical engineers will have an important role to play in effective deployment of RE Systems in the Industries. ## GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Program Name: Diploma Engineering Level: Diploma Branch: Mechanical / Mechanical (CAD/CAM) / Mechatronics Engineering/ Automobile Engineering/Fabrication Technology/ Textile Processing Technology/ Textile Manufacturing Technology/ Textile Design/ CACDDM/ Printing Technology/ Civil Engineering/ Mining Engineering Subject Code: DI05000281 Subject Name: Renewable and Green Energy ## Course Outcome: After Completion of the Course, Student will able to: | No | Course Outcomes | |------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 01 | Interpret the need and scope of renewable and green energy resources. | | 02 | Describe the working principles, components and applications of solar energy conversion systems. | | 03 | Determine the principle of wind energy and evaluate the potential of wind energy conversion system. | | 04 | Discuss various bioenergy resources and technologies including biogas, biomass and biofuels. | | 05 | Identify additional green energy sources such as geothermal, tidal and hydrogen energy. | ## Teaching and Examination Scheme: | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Teaching Scheme (in Hours) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Total Credits L+T+ (PR/2) | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | Assessment Pattern and Marks | | |-------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|------------------------------|------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|-------| | L | T | PR | Cr | Theory | Theory | Tutorial / Practical | Tutorial / Practical | Total | | | | | | ESE(E) | PA(M) | PA(I) | ESE(V) | Marks | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 70 | 30 | 0 | 0 | 100 | ## Course Content: | Unit No. | Content | No. of Hours | % of Weightage | |-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|-------------------| | 1 | Introduction to Renewable Energy 1.1 Basics of Energy- Conventional & Non-Conventional Source of Energy 1.2 Global and Indian Energy Scenario 1.3 Impact of Conventional Energy Use on Global Environment 1.4 Classification of Renewable Energy and its potential as energy sources in | 05 | 11 | ## GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY Program Name: Diploma Engineering Level: Diploma Branch: Mechanical / Mechanical (CAD/CAM) / Mechatronics Engineering/ Automobile Engineering/Fabrication Technology/ Textile Processing Technology/ Textile Manufacturing Technology/ Textile Design/ CACDDM/ Printing Technology/ Civil Engineering/ Mining Engineering Subject Code: DI05000281 Subject Name: Renewable and Green Energy | 2. | Solar Energy Technology 2.1 Solar Radiation -
