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
Very informative and helpful for those are new in this field.
Hello, thank you for your efforts in the course. It was very useful and beautiful. I hope you will always be healthy and happy. Mohammad Pakzad from Iran.
Great course experience..Very much I have learn from this course.Lots of knowledge I have gained.Learned new new things from here.
The course "Hydro, Wind & Solar Power: Resources, Variability & Forecast" is very useful for renewable energy professionals.
Unroll hydro,wind & solar power: resources, variability & forecast
it was one of the best courses in renewable energy that a an electrcal engineer can pass.
Really interesting and complete course. With a bit of Python as well!
Very informative sessions to know the variability in renewable energy. The global scenario in Hydel, wind, solar and wind energy.

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).
The course was quite well designed. Considering sustainable energy, an Engineer can have enough knowlegde from this course.
thank you
I am very grateful for Coursera's motivational time - table, which help pushing me to complete module after module. Kudos to the grate Lectures of the Hydro Wind and Solar Energy - Resources, Variability and Forecasting of online Presentations and educational videos. It just shows, ones again that age does not disqualify anybody from achieving and or completing its passion for education in modern environmental and meteorological Technology. Ones you understand the subject matter, and focused on your mission to comprehensively follow your assignments and complete your test within time, it is done.
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

very good course, thoroughly enjoyed the course.
Its is good certificate in professional life
It was a great course! I totally recommend!
very inresting and rich informations
very informative
