Do you want a much better understanding of renewable power technologies? Do you want to understand what limits power extraction from renewable resources and how current designs could be improved? We examine the physics of converting renewable energy resources to power from an engineering perspective. This course dives deep into fundamental processes and related issues for wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, tidal and wave power technologies. (Formerly ENERGY102)
