EET-105 Introduction to Sustainable Energy
Introduction to Sustainable Energy describes force, work, energy, and power as related to sustainable-energy systems. The fundamental operation of the electric power grid is described. The focus of this course is on small business and residential applications of distributed renewable-energy electrical-generation systems like small wind turbines, photovoltaic systems, and energy storage systems. Geothermal systems and active/passive solar water heating that can reduce the consumption of electrical energy are also explained. Local, state, and national codes (e.g., the National Electric Code) are introduced. Other critical tasks such as performing site feasibility studies, energy audits, and developing energy-efficiency improvement measures are explained. This course helps you prepare for renewable energy certification examinations and others offered by the Electronics Technicians Association, International.
