This module will allow you to gain hands-on experience in the practical aspects of data acquisition and control and associated software. It is a practical course using lectures and laboratory-based exercises, and resulting in individual design and group design exercises. You will have ‘hands-on’ interaction with sensors, data acquisition systems and control equipment. You will then be working in small groups on a chosen project to select sensor components data loggers, and actuators to assemble a data logging and control system for your project that could then be deployed ‘externally’
This module aims to equip you with important skills for monitoring and controlling renewable energy generation / production facilities and for resource assessment of renewable energy sources, needed in production and planning roles.
On successful completion of this module you should be able to:
Module Specific Skills and Knowledge
2. gain practical understanding of actuators and control systems used to control equipment designed to meet a given task
Discipline Specific Skills and Knowledge
5. develop practical understanding of design, assembly and deployment of sensing and data logging systems used in the assessment of renewable energy resources.
Personal and Key Transferable / Employment Skills and Knowledge
7. work effectively within a group
