As a result, there are countless new opportunities in renewable electricity. This course provides a solid grounding in the basics of renewable electricity. We\'ll start with how electricity is measured, how electricity systems operate, and how renewable technologies like wind turbines and solar PV work. We\'ll then cover technical and market fundamentals: how and why renewables are driving change in electricity systems worldwide, how electricity systems are changing to accommodate all these new renewables, and what that all means for those seeking to understand and participate in the global transformation of electricity systems. This global transformation is just beginning; with knowledge gained from this course you\'ll be ready to jump on board.
