Renewable Energy Exam Paper 2018

This document is an exam for a Renewable Energy Sources and Systems course. It contains two parts: Part A with short answer questions and Part B with longer answer questions. Part A asks about terrestrial solar radiation, advantages of solar thermal energy, PV system design considerations, limitations of synchronous generators for wind turbines, comparing wave and tidal energy, and the significance of fuel cells. Part B asks students to choose three of seven longer questions, which cover topics like the renewable energy scenario in India, solar radiation on tilted surfaces, the working principle and advantages/disadvantages of flat plate solar collectors, PV system I-V and P-V characteristics and maximum power point tracking methods, the operation and merits/demerits of wind energy
