The complete course on carbon-neutral energy: PV Solar, Wind, Hydro, Geothermal, Bio, Nuclear fusion, Hydrogen & Storage
What you'll learn Understand how the different renewable energy technologies work
Solar energy (photovoltaics), wind, hydro and water power, geothermal energy, bioenergy & biofuels
Do calculations: How efficient are the different forms of renewable energy?
Outlook into the future: Nuclear fusion energy & Energy storage technologies
The basics: Energy as a quantity in physics, chemistry and biology
For yourself: How can you use solar panels and heat pumps to save money and achieve a sustainable future
Global picture: Determine what we need to satisfy our global energy demand
See the bigger picture: All our energy comes from nuclear fusion in the sun. We only need to use a tiny fraction - 0.01% that arrives at earth is sufficient
Understand carbon recycling and see that biofuels have effectively zero emissions
Requirements None! The physics is fully taught in the course!
If you want to do the calculations yourself: 10th grade mathematics
(In a very few cases: Integral calculus helps you to follow along)
Description This course is for everyone who wants to learn how renewable energy technologies work in detail.It is THE complete course containing all relevant topics like Solar energy (Photovoltaics), Wind energy, Hydro & Marine energy, Geothermal energy, Bio energy, Nuclear fusion energy, Heat pumps and Energy storages such as Hydrogen. Since fossil fuels are limited on earth and their CO2 emission causes global warming and climate change, we need to transition towards a sustainable energy generation. You will learn about the corresponding science in this comprehensive 10-hour course! I have created it for everyone who is interested in a sustainable and green future. I am sure, you will learn a lot - no matter if you are completely new to the topic or if you are an advanced science student.You are kindly invited to join this carefully prepared course in which we use the laws of physics, chemistry and biology to understand the following concepts in detail. I will present many examples and give you quizzes and exercises (incl. solutions) for all topics. Also you can download all my slides.Introduction & Basics about energy (1.5 hours)What is energy? What types of energy exist?Renewable energy: Why do we need to change? Perspectives and challenges.Renewable energy technologies used today (6 hours)Solar energy: PhotovoltaicsWind, hydro and marine energyGeothermal energy & Heat pumpsBioenergy & HydrogenFuture technologies (2.5 hours)Nuclear fusion powerEnergy storagesIn the more than 100 lectures, exercises and quizzes we will answer important questions:- Why do we only need to use 0.01% of the sun's energy that arrives at the earth?- How many wind turbines do we need to satisfy the global energy demand? - What size must a single solar park have to satisfy the global energy demand?- Why are solar cells made out of silicon and why is an efficiency of 33% considered 'excellent'?- How much energy can we harvest from inside our earth?- How can it be that a nuclear fusion of 1 gram hydrogen generates the same energy as burning several tons of coal?The list goes on!Why me?My name is Börge Göbel and I am a postdoc working as a scientist in theoretical physics. I have refined my advisor skills as a tutor of Bachelor, Master and PhD students in theoretical physics and have other successful courses here on Udemy.In my research projects I simulate magnetic systems that may eventually lead to more efficient data storage devices which allow us to save energy - However, wouldn't it be even nicer if we had more than enough energy? Find out how! ;-)I hope you are excited and I kindly welcome you to our course!
