VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Õppeaine eesmärk on anda laiapõhjalised teadmised elektrokeemilistest energia muundamise ja salvestamise süsteemidest, nagu kütuseelemendid, elektrolüüserid, superkondensaatorid, akud, ning anda ülevaade nende taaskasutamise võimalustest, samuti tutvuda nende süsteemide eeliste ja puudustega ning luua tervikpilt nende rakendustest.
course aims in English
The aim of the subject is to provide understanding of the principles of electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems such as fuel cells, electrolysers, supercapacitors, batteries and their recycling, to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of these systems and to create an overview of their applications.
