About the Course

The energy revolution in 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 provides a solid grounding in the basics of renewable electricity. We'll start with how electricity is measured, how electricity systems operate, and how renewable technologies like wind turbines and solar PV work. We'll then cover technical and market fundamentals: 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 knowledge gained from this course you'll be ready to jump on board.

1. There are no PDF slides provided to facilitate studying.

2. Much of the material provided was old, as old as 2014, as was the case for the french power mix chart.

3. Lots of repetitive info, repetitive charts, and even a whole section (Introduction to Grid Integration was delivered twice!).

4. The "Introduction to Electricity Storage" video had a single slide for the whole duration of the video.

5. No Advantages/Disadvantages were presented for Li-Ion Batteries, but they were presented for other technologies. There is a lack of objectivity here.

6. When talking about thermostats the professor talked about one specific brand (Nest). This is not correct, it seemed as an advertizing.
