The following are development proposals in the guide; they are not presented as completed projects.
Development priorities
- A specialised professional diploma in renewable energy
- A specialised renewable-energy journal
- Advanced laboratory equipment for materials and solar-cell characterisation
- Cooperation with private universities, government agencies and licensed organisations
- Cooperation with the Ministry of Environment on sustainable universities
- A dedicated Center building and overseas training for researchers
- A proposed 40 kW rooftop solar installation
Proposed professional diploma
A one-year programme across two semesters is proposed for graduates in engineering, technical engineering, sciences and technical institutes. Topics include renewable energy and sustainability, grid-connected and off-grid photovoltaics, solar thermal systems, storage, resource assessment, wind conversion, energy efficiency and research methods.
Studies
The guide lists solar-system studies for student accommodation, homes, agricultural applications, renewable-energy waste recycling, grid-connected systems and the Biotechnology Center, together with a laboratory wind-energy system.
Proposed projects
A solar and battery system is proposed to provide stable electricity for laboratory-animal facilities. A wind-turbine test platform is proposed for research and education, with a stated implementation cost of IQD 14 million. A solar-energy system serving as an applied laboratory at the Center has a stated proposed implementation cost of IQD 17 million.
