General DescriptionThe Solar/Wind Energy Training Systems form complete hybrid-energy training systems. These training systems demonstrate how wind turbines and solar cells are being used in the consumer and industrial markets to supplement the world’s power needs. They constitute a modular program that covers the history, fundamentals, installation, operation, maintenance, and servicing of solar energy and wind energy systems.

The program explores sunlight and wind as energy sources that can be used to help reduce dependence on non-renewable fuel sources. It helps students gain a complete perspective of the field by studying the economics, efficiency, and low-environmental impact of producing energy from non-polluting, renewable sources.

All Solar/Wind Energy Training Systems are made from real-world components that are used in industry. These are the same components that students see in their homes, schools, and workplaces. All training systems are engineered for both ease of use and durability, and are manufactured to the highest quality standards.

CoursewareThe courseware for each of the topics consists of a student manual and an instructor guide, as well as textbooks titled Photovoltaic Systems, by James P. Dunlop, and Wind Power, by Paul Gipe. Each student manual consists of a series of job sheets. The job sheets include a description of the objectives, a list of required equipment, a list of safety procedures, and a list of steps required to attain the objectives. To obtain detailed information about covered topics, students should refer to the textbooks or ask their instructor to guide their learning process.

All student manuals, instructor guides, and textbooks are fully illustrated and color printed. All student manuals, instructor guides, and electrical drawing sets are available as .PDF files on a CD-ROM (P/N 86514-A0). A Facilitator PowerPoint Presentation and a Facilitator Guide containing instructional strategies and activities are also available as options.

eLearning FormatsThe courseware is also available in the following three eLearning formats for users who prefer a computer-based approach:

• Model 46549-E: eSeries format, facilitated by the Mind-Sight eLearning System.• Model 46549-F: SCORM-based format, designed to be hosted by a third-party, SCORM 1.2 compliant management

system.• Model 46549-G: Stand-Alone format, available on CD-ROM. This format runs on a web browser and does not require

any management system.

An additional eLearning course is available for use in conjunction with the Grid-Tied Training System Simulation Software, Model 46120-A. The software expands on the knowledge acquired about solar and wind energy, and enables students to simulate the connection of the system to the ac power network, forming a grid-tied system.

Grid-Tied Systems for Simulator - eSeries (Optional) 46549-10

This site-license eLearning course is intended to be used in conjunction with the Solar/Wind Energy Training System, Model 46120, and requires the Grid-Tied Simulation Software, Model 46120-A. It contains one course, which begins with a pretest and ends with a posttest. The course topics include Grid-Connected Equipment, Utility-Interactive

Software, and The NEC®. Exercise procedures are presented in enhanced PDF format. Completed exercises may be printed, saved to a specific

location, and submitted (emailed) to the instructor. Exercise presentation of technical content is accompanied by voiceover narration to minimize the amount of on-screen reading.

The Grid-Tied Systems Simulation Software, Model 46120-A, expands on the knowledge acquired about solar and wind energy, and enables students to simulate the connection of the system to the ac power network, forming a grid-tied system. The following learning platforms are available.

• 46549-1: Grid-Tied Systems for Simulation Software - eSeries• 46549-2: Grid-Tied Systems for Simulation Software - SCORM• 46549-3: Grid-Tied Systems for Simulation Software - Stand-Alone

It is possible to combine the Grid-Tied Systems eLearning course with the Grid-Tied Systems Simulation Software into a single bundle. The following variants are available:

• 46549-J: Grid-Tied Systems with Simulation Software - eSeries• 46549-K: Grid-Tied Systems with Simulation Software - SCORM• 46549-L: Grid-Tied Systems with Simulation Software - Stand-Alone
