7. Background information

The Master of Technology program in Renewable Energy Engineering is mainly focused on

Solar, Wind, Hydropower Engineering and Biomass technologies which are described below.
Solar energy is a form of renewable energy abundantly available in Africa which can be
tapped for domestic and commercial use with appropriate technologies (Acakpovi, Michael,
Asabere, & Honvo, 2017). The existing solar technologies are broadly categorized as passive
solar or active solar based on the means by which the solar radiation is captured. Active solar
techniques include photovoltaic systems, concentrated solar power, solar water heating.
Passive solar techniques on the other hand includes orienting a building to the sun, selecting
materials with favourable thermal mass or light-dispersing properties, and dispensing spaces
that naturally circulate air.
Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical power to
turn electric generators (Acakpovi & Hagan, 2014; Acakpovi, Issah, Fifatin, & Michael,
2017). Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely

Page 2 of 72
distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, consumes no
water, and uses little land. The resulting effects on the environment are far less complicated
than those of non-renewable power sources
Hydropower is power derived from the energy of falling water or fast running water, which
may be harnessed for useful purposes. Since ancient times, hydropower from many kinds of
watermills has been used as a renewable energy source for irrigation and the operation of
various mechanical devices.
Biomass is an industry term for getting energy by burning wood, and other organic matter.
Burning biomass releases carbon emissions, but has been classified as a renewable energy
source in the EU and UN legal frameworks (Editors, Nocera, & Guldi, 2009; EU, 2010),
because plant stocks can be replaced with new growth.
Training Engineers in Renewable Energy Engineering at the Master level, will assist in
overcoming the challenges of inadequate qualified personnel in Power System Industry
companies in Ghana. With a strong knowledge in the planning, design, installation and
maintenance of Renewable Energy systems and with the knowledge of multiple software for
modelling and simulating the same systems, our trained-Engineers will be able to serve most
of the required job qualification on market and therefore participate to the reduction of youth
unemployment. The program will also inject into the trainees an entrepreneurial spirit,
whereby they can set up some medium scale enterprises and businesses of their own in order
to create employment opportunities. Accra Technical University technical cooperation and
collaboration will provide project opportunities for student training, student employment as
well as networking of students with local industries.

Aim
The main objective of the programme is to provide hands-on skill and career focused training
to prepare trainees to design, install, operate and maintain renewable power plants in line
with the country’s long-term clean energy and sustainability development plan. Specific
objectives and intended outcomes of the programme are listed below:

 2nd YEAR – 1st SEMESTER

COURSE TITLE: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY/PROJECT PART I

COURSE CODE: REE 531

Objective

This course provides a broad overview of the generic concepts of design research and design
research methodology, and introduces DRM – a highly popular methodology for doing
design research. It then takes the student through each step of the methodology, from
understanding design as a phenomenon, to improving any of its facets in a systematic way,
and validating the improvements in a methodical manner.

Content
Introduction to design research: What and Why; Current issues with design research and the
need for a design research methodology; Major facets of design and design research;
Introduction to DRM - a design research methodology - its main components, and examples
to explain the components; Types of design research, determining type of research to be
persuaded; Starting design research: Clarification of requirements: Identifying research
topics, carrying out literature search, consolidating the topic into research questions and
hypotheses, and developing a research plan; Types of descriptive study; Processes for
carrying out descriptive studies for developing an understanding a facet of design and its
influences; Introduction to associated descriptive study real-time and retrospective research
methods for data collection such as protocol analysis, questionnaire surveys, interviews etc;
Introduction to quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods; Types of prescriptive
study; Processes for developing design support and associated prescriptive study research
methods; Types of support evaluation; Processes for evaluating a design support, and
associated Evaluation study research methods; Types and structures of research
documentation; Approaches and guidelines for documenting and reporting research process
and outcomes

Learning Outcome
Students will be able to

 To understand and practically use design research methodology and its components

Page 49 of 72
  To understand and apply appropriately, different types of design research
 To acquire an overview of important characteristics within technological research and
development: Aims and methods, the relation between pure science on the one hand
and applied research on the other, the relation between research and practice, and the
relation between technology and society.
 To demonstrate an understanding of the limits and possibilities for research in science
and technology.
 To acquire skills of presenting arguments and results of scientific and technological
research.

Mode of Delivery
a. The course consists of classroom instruction including lectures using classical
lecture style, power point slides.
b. Home-works are given take-home style to increase students' practical skills
using digital devices.
