Renewable Energy Hot Topics

An Incredible Learning Experience
World-class renewable energy course for anyone, anywhere!

This CPD course caters to Engineers, Technicians, Facilities Managers, Energy Professionals, Architects, and others who are interested in enhancing their understanding of renewable energy and would like to learn about methods, best practices, and strategies for the selection of the most suitable renewable energy alternative, with technical, geographic and financial feasibility in mind.

Introduction to a few important fundamentals of energy and the “grid” sets the tone for a better comparison of the current source of energy with optimal renewable energy alternatives. The importance of the concept of the most direct application of renewable sources to the final energy demand point is highlighted. After the introduction, this seminar dives into some of the more proven and mainstream renewable energy topics. Current footprint and relative cost differences between some of the major renewable energy systems are examined. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats pertaining to some of the mainstream renewable energy solutions are discussed. Some of the cutting-edge, yet unproven, renewable energy systems are introduced. The discussion on the topic of renewable energy is sustained by diagrams, schematics, and pictures pertaining to major renewable energy systems. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Perform technical/engineering and cost comparisons between energy obtained from the grid versus the energy harnessed from renewable sources.
Identify and quantify the technical and financial benefits of renewable energy systems.
Specify and implement renewable energy systems that leverage the direct application of renewable energy sources to the point of use, thus maximizing the efficiency and net benefit of renewable energy systems.
Examine and assess alternative renewable energy technologies based on physics and engineering principles. Assess the performance of renewable energy systems based on physics and engineering equations that correlate physical parameters to the power and energy output of wind turbines. These equations serve as tools in the design, analysis, suitable location selection, and application of wind turbines. Utilize physics and engineering principles and equations to evaluate the performance of hydroelectric turbines.
Evaluate technical/engineering strengths and weaknesses of major renewable energy technologies like hydroelectric, tidal, wave, wind, geothermal, solar heat, solar light, solar PV, solar chimney, and biomass Follow progress on some of the major, more recent, notable renewable projects in the world. Benefit from the lessons on these projects in avoiding pitfalls in the design/specification of renewable energy systems.
