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.
