ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of China's "dual carbon" goals, the photovoltaic industry has entered a phase of rapid development, creating an urgent need for applied photovoltaic professionals. As a core course in new energy disciplines, "Photovoltaic Power Plant Design and Operation Control" directly impacts talent cultivation quality. Taking Shandong Institute of Petroleum and Chemical Technology as a case study, this paper addresses challenges including theoretical-practical disconnect, outdated content, insufficient practical resources, and monotonous assessment methods. Through systematic reforms—optimizing curriculum design, innovating teaching approaches, enhancing practical training, and refining evaluation systems—the course has effectively improved students' engineering skills and innovative thinking. These measures, such as implementing project-based learning, establishing hybrid virtual-practical training platforms, deepening industry-academia collaboration, and creating diversified assessment mechanisms, provide valuable insights for curriculum development in new energy programs at applied undergraduate institutions.
