Renewable Energy and Clean Technology, or REaCT, is an interdisciplinary program centered on essential aspects of the fast-growing renewable energy and low-carbon industries. It emphasizes foundational knowledge of electricity generation from solar, wind, and marine energy sources.
The curriculum explores the necessary interfacing and distribution technologies to harness these resources while offering a solid grasp of core principles, design methods, and analytical approaches for renewable energy systems. Students gain expertise in converting and distributing electrical power from sustainable sources, integrating it into eco-friendly energy districts and buildings through smart utilization of flexible distributed resources like storage systems. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of renewable technologies is limited without addressing demand and carbon emissions, making policy considerations another crucial component of the program.
