Năng Lượng Tái Tạo: Từ Cơ Bản Đến Chuyên Gia do Nhà Khoa Học Giảng Dạy

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: Photovoltaics

• Wind, hydro and marine energy

• Geothermal energy & Heat pumps

• Bioenergy & Hydrogen

Future technologies (2.5 hours)

• Nuclear fusion power

• Energy storages

  
  

In 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!
