Overview

This course is specifically designed for Ohio-licensed engineers to qualify as a "timed and monitored" online course. The course contains an automatic timer that prevents the user from accessing the quiz and earning a certificate of completion until the minimum amount of study time has been met. This achieves the Ohio Board's intent that an online course should be "paced" by the provider. For more information, please see the Ohio state requirements. This course may also be accepted in other states (see the "Board Acceptance" tab above).

In Renewable Energy Fundamentals , you'll learn ...

Energy generation and consumption mix in US and globally
Renewable Energy (RE) production cost drivers
Capacity factors for variable RE vs. baseload and MWh energy production
How solar, wind, hydro, biomass, geothermal, wave energy, and tidal energy work

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 215 minutes has been met.

Duration: 215 minutes

This course provides a data and fact-based overview of the Renewable Energy industry, led by an expert with over 40 years of technical and financial experience.

Topics covered include:

Energy generation mix
Different energy storage technologies
Financial and Engineering analysis of interactive systems
Capital and operating costs
Other practical considerations for the variables that impact energy production

This video is a recording of a live webinar training session. As a recording of a live event, you will hear the discussion that occurred between the instructor and those who attended this webinar.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, 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.
