Utilizing renewableenergy sources not only provides an excellent opportunity for students to have a deep andrealistic understanding on this subject, but also prepares and train them to test their ideas in ahighly technical research and development atmosphere. The implementation of operationalregimes and conducting verification experiments will be necessary for future students to get intothis area: a) Introduction to hybrid power grids b) Emulation and development of renewable energy sources (in particular wind and solar) c) Integrating techniques and approaches for optimally control and operation of PV and wind emulators along with energy storage system d) Real time energy transfer

For them we design surveysusing a professional version of SurveyMonkey ®, which allows us to: a) Obtain statistics on multiple-choice questions, b) Collect open-ended, essay-type answers, and c) Use two separate web sites – one for submission of students’ answers and the other for submission of students’ names. This feature is extremely important, because it ensures anonymity of student responses and – at the same time – allows the instructor to reward each participant
