    About the Course

    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 the...

    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).

    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
