Energy is a prerequisite for daily operations, industrial production, transportation, and economic growth. It enables and fosters every element of modern life. However, utilising some energy sources, such as fossil fuels, has consequences, such as producing pollutants that may harm the environment. Renewable energy sources are more environmentally benign.

Following that, you'll learn about the water cycle and hydroelectric power plants, including impulse turbine, reaction turbine and micro-hydroelectric power. Additionally, we examine wind, solar and geothermal energy.
Finally, we'll analyse energy storage systems, grid integration of renewable energy and the challenges presented by such sources. The course is designed for diverse individuals passionate about embracing renewable energy and making a positive impact. It requires no specific prerequisites. No matter your background or expertise, this course will provide you with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to drive positive change and shape a sustainable future.
