An Introduction To Renewables
Course objectives
Whether you are new to the industry or want to refresh and update your knowledge, this comprehensive yet time-effective two-day training course will ensure you are up-to-speed with the key aspects of the renewable energy/power industries and the economic factors and technologies that are driving them. It is ideal for those new to the industry, or in related sectors such as finance, law, regulation, publishing etc.
You will learn how to evaluate renewable energy resources and the economic cases and market conditions which argue for (or against) them. You will understand the different, competing and complementary technologies available to harness and store renewable energy - including solar, wind, biofuels and geothermal - exploring the potential of each to contribute to current energy needs.
Level and Style
While the course will explain some key concepts in energy physics and technology, it assumes no prior technical knowledge and will do so at a very basic level. Indeed the course is specifically designed to be of value to those working in non-technical functions - those who need to understand the fundamentals of the industry; its economics and the development of technologies and market applications, but not the nuts-and-bolts of engineering or hands-on installation.
The course will run in an informal manner, encouraging time for discussions and questions to ensure that participants get the most out of their time. In order to better understand and illustrate the various topics, some simple calculations and other explanatory exercises will be incorporated.
