As we grapple with the complex challenges of climate change, resource depletion and energy security, the shift towards renewable energy sources presents a beacon of hope and a path toward a sustainable future. In this course, you’ll gain insights into different renewable energy sources, their environmental repercussions and the cost-benefit analysis of renewable energy projects. Also, you’ll learn how solar energy is harnessed and the fundamental principles and key considerations for solar energy systems.
Wind energy, a renewable source, efficiently transforms the kinetic energy of moving air into electrical power using turbines. We will guide you through the aerodynamic principles governing wind turbines, covering critical considerations such as wind resource assessment and appropriate site selection. Additionally, you will gain insights into the concepts and techniques of power generation from biomass, hydropower, and geothermal resources, as well as the technological and other limitations associated with harnessing energy from renewable sources.
We designed this course for individuals seeking an understanding of sustainable energy practices and the evolving landscape of renewable technologies. Prerequisite knowledge and expertise are optional to take this course. Governments and organisations worldwide are seeking alternatives to traditional fuels by transitioning to environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. This, in turn, creates a wide array of career opportunities for professionals with knowledge and expertise in renewable energy. Join the course now and learn for free!
