About the Course

Renewable energy is one of the fastest growing industries on the planet, with billions of dollars invested each year to meet international energy sustainability goals. This course will provide you with a solid foundation for understanding and deploying important renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar. In addition, you will come away with a good understanding of important energy storage technologies such as pumped hydro, batteries, and hydrogen. Upon completing the course, you will be conversant with the opportunities and challenges of renewable energy technologies. You will be comfortable participating in debates and making decisions regarding these technologies. And the knowledge you gain will be foundational for further study of renewable power systems, renewable energy projects, and forecasts for the future of renewable energy. We hope you will join us on our journey! This course is the first in a four-course Coursera specialization in Renewable Energy. • Renewable Energy Technology Fundamentals • Renewable Power & Electricity Systems • Renewable Energy Projects • Renewable Energy Futures Course logo image credit: "Wind Turbine" icon courtesy of Vectors Point from the Noun Project....

I was really disappointed with this course. Although all concepts were clearly presented and I learned very interesting things, I have the following to say:

1. Teacher reads on top of a presentation, so you never get to see the teacher.

2. Some info and material provided is not up to date.

3. Part of the material comes from Wikipedia (believe it or not) and some of it has mistakes.

4. There are some links to websites that simply do not work.

5. A couple of videos do not come with supporting PDF slides.

6, I was really surprised to see that no mention was given to Concentrated PV Technology.

7. One LCOE chart comparing renewable energies did not include data for Hydropower (the most important RE today!!).

8. Some information on CSP was repeated in two different videos.

9. Multijunction solar cell technology was not covered in any of the videos.

10. Energy Storage Economics info excluded Hydrogen.

11. Some articles that were supposed to take 10 minutes to be read, actually to more than an hour.

Some links to external site does not work (example, first study material of week 2).

Question asked to select 2 options, configured to select any one and not able to select 2 options for a specific question. Example - Question no 3 of week 2 test.
