Fundamentals of Renewable Energy: Types, Merits and Operations

Renewable Energy & Sustainability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Electricity generation is the leading cause of industrial air pollution in the world. Most of our electricity comes from coal, nuclear, and other non-renewable power plants.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the fundamentals of the conventional power generation, transmission and distribution systems
• Understand the importance and roles of renewable energy in this modern age
• How to maximize the natural resources and convert them into renewable energy
• Understand the components architecture between the solar and wind power generations
• Create awareness in understanding the types of renewable energy
• Appreciation of the benefits of harvesting renewable energy
• Understand the characteristics and operations of each type of renewable energy
• Explore the suitability of introducing renewable energy generation to your premises
