The Computer Controlled Photovoltaic Solar Energy Unit, "EESFC", includes equipment that uses the photo-conversion law for the direct conversion of solar radiation into electricity. The absorbed energy is provided by simulated solar radiation,...

The Computer Controlled Thermal Solar Energy Unit, "EESTC", is a system that transforms solar energy into usable thermal energy. It uses the thermosiphon solar system to heat water or the traditional pumping system. In both cases, the absorbed...

The Computer Controlled Wind Energy Unit, "EEEC", contains an aerogenerator, in laboratory-scale, and is used to study the conversion of kinetic wind energy into electrical energy and to study the influence of some factors on this generation.The...

The Computer Controlled Wind Energy Basic Unit, "MINI-EEEC", is a small-scale unit designed to study wind energy and the influence of some factors on its generation.This unit consists of a transparent tunnel, a wind turbine with rotor to place up...

The Computer Controlled Waves Energy Unit, "EOMC", is a unit in scale, designed to study the wave energy and the influence of several variables. The unit consists of a Base Service Unit and Waves Generator "EOMC-UB" and several Modules to be used...

Tidal energy is another way to generate electricity extracting energy from the sea. Twice a day big volumes of water rise and fall with the tides. A Tidal Barrage make use of the potential energy in the difference in height (or head) between high...

An interesting technology for harnessing the energy from the ocean currents is the use of turbine-driven generators anchored in place in the current stream.The blades of the turbine are driven by the moving water. These blades are used to turn the...
