Sponsored and directly supervised by the Dean of the College of Engineering, Professor Dr. Laith Shaker Rashid Al-Qarawi, and within the activities of the Global Leadership Week, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering organized a discussion panel tagged:
“Producing electrical energy from solar panels compared to diesel generators is a step towards sustainable buildings.”
The seminar was presented by Professor Dr. Ali Abdel Razzaq Abbas Al-Taher, a lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and some techniques related to the economic and technical feasibility of producing electrical energy using photovoltaic panels connected to the national grid for the purpose of equipping buildings affiliated with the University of Kerbala (sustainable buildings) with electrical energy from the system were discussed. Solar panels aim to reduce electricity consumption bills from the national grid, reduce fuel consumption used in diesel generators, reduce periodic maintenance requirements for electric generators, and reduce carbon emissions.
