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....

It was a fun and interesting experience. The assignments didn't really feel like they tested my knowledge but instead reviewed after each video .

The reason it is not a 5 star is because the additional reading is not referenced at all in the videos so the lessons did not feel coherent.

Машинний переклад був дуже не якісним, особливо в тестах. Іноді в тестах відповідь відображалась як не коректна, але в поясненні до відбовіді було написано "Коректно!" і далі давалось пояснення коректності даної відповіді. Проте тест зараховувався саме як не коректний.

Good content overall but significant overlap between courses in terms of subject matter covered. References and some links need to be updated as reference links are broken and more recent versions of many reports exist.

Super Intro to the course and itself are wawoo. Learnt alot and the physics i studied in High school really helped me to come to speed and i appreciate the course. Any electrical engineer needs to wake up to it.

Fairly comprehensive, though needs updating as a number of aspects are changing rapidly. The initial focus on 4 basic forces was out of place, not really in scope of renewable energy technology fundamentals.

The course was a great introduction, but some multiple-choice test answers are incorrect (I triple-checked and cross-referenced the answers with the course material to confirm).

The information is quite good, although it needs a bit of an update... the RE world is changing and I believe some of the data of the course needs some update

Very interesting. It gives a good overall picture of renewable energy technologies, speccially solar PV and wind, and on energy storage.

An informative and easy-to-understand introduction to many kinds of renewable energy, though it occasionally repeats itself.
