Discover the Latest Research and News on Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency from NREL
In this online engineering PDH course, recent news and research breakthroughs from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are described. NREL is the U.S. Department of Energy's primary national laboratory for research on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
NREL’s mission is to advance the science and engineering of energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, and renewable power technologies and provide the knowledge to integrate and optimize energy systems.
Every year, in addition to publishing technical articles and reports, NREL publishes dozens of short articles (NREL News & Feature Stories) that take an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at the latest news and research breakthroughs.
The present course is Part 2 of a three-part series of courses based on excerpts of recently published News & Feature Stories. In general, all three courses should be of interest to anyone wanting to keep up with recent developments from a laboratory regularly recognized for national and global leadership in energy efficiency and renewable energy research and development.
This course is intended for engineers interested in the latest developments in renewable energy and energy efficiency research.
This course includes a true/false and multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to highlight the general concepts of the course material.
This course is based on the course document, “Recent Developments in Renewable Energy Research at NREL Part 2".
