About the Course

The development of hydro, wind and solar power is growing strongly with as one objective to limit and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All these renewable energies are intermittent with more or less strong variability. This course provides the basis for estimating the resource of these different modes of production and understanding the physical causes of intermittency and seasonal variability. The different modes of electricity production are detailed as well as the sensitivity induced by meteorological variations. Short and medium term forecast becomes a fundamental issue in the development of these renewable energies and in their integration to the electricity network. We therefore present the methods and tools used for a reliable forecast of the electricity production of hydro, wind and solar power plants. This MOOC has been supported by Ecole Polytechnique and was developed in the frame of the Energy4Climate Interdisciplinary Center of Institut Polytechnique de Paris in collaboration with Ecole des Ponts...

Overall, it's a great course for those interested in renewable energy sources and meteorology. However, it's worth mentioning that the estimated hours are probably lower than what it takes to complete the course. Moreover, it looks like there are some mistakes in the quizzes: it's a bit frustrating to go by trial and error until you enter the answer that is deemed to be correct (see forum posts).

It is one of the most beautiful courses in which I have obtained a lot of global information that talks about emerging energy with an extensive explanation of its types, uses and ways to obtain the electrical capabilities generated from these energies.

renewable energy is unpredictable compared to current energy (coal, nuclear etc). This course gives good insight in how the characteristics are measured and what the effects are on a renewable energy system

Content It was pretty amazing. The lectures were clear , crisp and taught in a very interesting manner. Especially when explaining about wind instruments ( anemometer ), displaying the instrument and explaining them makes it very easy to understand. The graphs, the data, the case study , problems based on that gave me complete understanding and amazing learning Learning Outcome The person who completes the course will get to know how each field works, how climate and other factors influence the production of energy, feasibility analysis and what not not. I will recommend anyone who is interested to opt for the course and get amazing knowledge
