Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Ronald Miller, P.E., MBA, CEM, REP
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.
