Introduction to Renewable Energies

Renewable energy (RE) technologies have broad applications in the world, especially in rural areas that have less technology and infrastructure. In fact, bringing the remote places can uplift technology whilst avoiding cost and environmental damage. The energy revolution is underway. Renewable energy is growing at an astounding pace - notably in electricity. Wind turbines and solar photovoltaic (PV) systems account for most new power plants built worldwide and are essential to building a low-carbon and sustainable energy future. As a result, there are countless new opportunities in renewable electricity. This course covers how and why renewables are driving change in electricity systems worldwide, how electricity systems are changing to accommodate all these new renewables, and what that all means for those seeking to understand and participate in the global transformation of electricity systems. This global transformation is just beginning; with the knowledge gained from this course, you will be ready to jump on board.
