E – 1580 Clean Energy Technologies

Description

The nation’s power system is facing a diverse and broad set of challenges. These range from restructuring and increased competitiveness in power production to the need for additional production and distribution capacity to meet demand growth, and demands for increased quality and reliability of power and power supply. Although these challenges may create uncertainty within the financial and electricity supply markets, they also offer the potential to explore new opportunities to support the accelerated deployment of cleaner and cost-effective technologies to meet such challenges.

This course describes alternate clean energy technologies that can be considered in various industries. The course also discusses that energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and biomass, are considered carbon-neutral energy technologies.

This course is based on the material contained in Clean Energy Technologies A Preliminary Inventory of the Potential for Electricity Generation – Publication No. LBNL-57451 – April 2005. Once you complete your course review, you need to take an exam consisting of fifteen (15) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
