Live support chatRenewable Energy Fundamentals (Webinar)
Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Ronald Miller, P.E., MBA, CEM, REP
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In Renewable Energy Fundamentals , you'll learn ...
- Energy generation and consumption mix in US and globally
- Renewable Energy (RE) production cost drivers
- How solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, wave energy, and tidal energy work
Overview
This webinar includes data and fact-based overview of the Renewable Energy industry, led by an expert with over 40 years technical and financial experience. Topics include the energy generation mix, different energy storage technologies, financial and engineering analysis of interactive systems, capital and operating costs, and other practical considerations for the variables that impact energy production.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Compare the energy generation and consumption mix in the United States with the global mix.
- Explain renewable energy (RE) production cost drivers.
- Distinguish between energy and power units.
- Compare generation capacity in megawatts (MW) with energy production in megawatt-hours (MWh).
- Explain capacity factors for variable RE and baseload generation in relation to MWh energy production.
- Describe how solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, wave, and tidal energy systems work.
- Compare the kWh impacts of different photovoltaic (PV) technologies and orientations.
- Identify RE resource determinants and the impacts of resource variability.
- Calculate wind speeds and translate them into MWh energy production.
- Explain excess solar energy production, the “duck curve,” and curtailment.
- Compare transmission connection issues for RE and fossil-fuel generation.
- Describe the consumer energy price impacts of increasing RE integration.
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 20 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
