The contents of the course are good; provides a high level overview of the current trends and technologies.

My main gripe is with how the information is presented, namely slide format and the lecturer. The slides format look dated and seems to try to fit as much information onto each page as possible, rather than optimizing for ease of understanding or digestability. The lecturer delivers the presentation in a similar manner; he reads out the information as quickly as possible, fumbling over his words at least once in each video almost as if he needs to squeeze in as many words as possible under some time limit. Transitioning between slides of different topics or within the same slide will have little to no pauses for you to digest the information, so you'll need to actively pause, rewind, etc in order to soak in the material. Again, it's as if he's trying to dump as much information at once rather than aiming for presenting information in an interesting, understandable way.

I watched some supplemental youtube videos on the technologies presented in this course and have found those to be much more interesting, informative, and fun to watch. Makes me want to binge watch as opposed to this course, where I dread clicking the next video button.

Lastly, some of the quiz questions are wrong (majority are ok). Some of them say select TWO items, but only allows selection of one choice. Another one asks "Component X is arguably the most important component of technology Y", when what is the most important depends on who you ask? Sure the lecture may have his bias but it should be treated as such and not be tested as if it were fact.

I learned a lot from this course. This course helps me to imagine thing better and develop great understandings about renewable energy and energy storage process.

I did not get any feedback in the opinions given in certain parts of the courses.

Som,o of the links did not work, i reported them but did not get response

Excellent course covering the basics of renewable technology. Recommended for any engineer or scientist looking to work in the renewable industry. I especially enjoyed the wind and solar sections (weeks 2 & 3). Also serves as an excellent scientific knowledge re-fresher for those who haven't been in an academic environment for a while.

I am a newbie to the Renewable Energy field and was able to keep up and learned a great deal from this course. I really enjoyed every moment learning about this!

This course provides fundamentals of renewable energy technology . The supplement reading material is also provide excellent insights in latest development

Its really informative and well structured course. The course instructor explains each and every module of course in detail.

Машинний переклад був дуже не якісним, особливо в тестах. Іноді в тестах відповідь відображалась як не коректна, але в поясненні до відбовіді було написано "Коректно!" і далі давалось пояснення коректності даної відповіді. Проте тест зараховувався саме як не коректний.

this is a good course to understand the enery

I was really disappointed with this course. Although all concepts were clearly presented and I learned very interesting things, I have the following to say:

1. Teacher reads on top of a presentation, so you never get to see the teacher.

2. Some info and material provided is not up to date.

3. Part of the material comes from Wikipedia (believe it or not) and some of it has mistakes.

4. There are some links to websites that simply do not work.

5. A couple of videos do not come with supporting PDF slides.

6, I was really surprised to see that no mention was given to Concentrated PV Technology.

7. One LCOE chart comparing renewable energies did not include data for Hydropower (the most important RE today!!).

8. Some information on CSP was repeated in two different videos.

9. Multijunction solar cell technology was not covered in any of the videos.

10. Energy Storage Economics info excluded Hydrogen.

11. Some articles that were supposed to take 10 minutes to be read, actually to more than an hour.

Renewable Energy Technology Fundamentals is a clear, concise, and comprehensive guide to the core principles of sustainable energy. It covers solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass with practical examples and visual aids, making it accessible for beginners. While it could delve deeper into advanced topics and include more technical details, its strengths in clarity and breadth of coverage make it an excellent resource for students and professionals. A must-read for anyone starting their journey in renewable energy.

Great breadth and depth of knowledge covered. The modules were all informative and eye-opening. The extra readings and resources were extra helpful too! I was able to dive into my passion and learn exaclty what I needed. I would recommend to someone who is just entering this space as well as to someone who has experience and needs a refresher.

Es un curso abarcativo y bien diseñado para tener un pantallazo general de las energias renovables, con especial ènfasis en eòlica y solar. Se detiene el los conceptos fundamentales para comprender las tecnologias, entender su economia y ver su proyecciòn a futuro. Lo recomiendo para quienes quieren aprender sobre el tema desde cero.

As the name suggests the course gives a brief understanding of various technologies and the requirement of energy storage technologies to compete with fossil fuels. It motivated me to learn more about the energy utilisation and understand the different obstacles that are being faced in the industry.

Great Course! It provides a solid foundation for Renewable Energy technologies. As a student, this course answered many questions I had and enlighten me with new technologies and Concepts that I never knew. The course start from zero to build a good understanding about different topic in energy.

Wow! What a great exposure from the comfort of my home, learning and studying qualitatively online. I really had a great time and would want to continue getting enlightments on topics that can help me build the future I so much dream of. thansk so much Coursera. best regards, Genesis.

It is a very comprehensive guide through all kinds of energies and storage solutions, giving also high-level but also very detailed technical information. I thought I knew a lot about renewable energy, but actually I have learned hugely during this education.

Muy interesante, bien estructurado y dirigido por un excelente docente. Resume lo que es un desafío de las energías renovables en el futuro del mundo, a través de tópicos, como lo son: su origen, desarrollo de tecnologías, costos, avances y proyecciones.

The course is very meticulously designed with rich materials and with provision of deep diving if more interested to learn, explore and clear concepts. Horizontal reach is also very well interlinked with depth. Thanks to Team for designing such course.

I get every basic knowledge of renewable energy from this course. If you are interesting with this topic, but you still not familiar with the fundamental thing about it, this course will be your best choice.
