Hydropower, Geothermal, and Ocean Energy: Traditional and Emerging Sources

While solar and wind receive much attention, the baseload, dispatchable, and continuous potential of other renewables—hydropower, geothermal, and ocean energy—remains critical to a stable energy system. This course provides a comprehensive technical and environmental examination of these established and emerging power sources. Participants will analyze the design complexities of various systems, from large-scale dams to deep-earth drilling and tidal turbines. The program focuses on assessing the resource availability, mitigating environmental and social impacts, and understanding the role these non-intermittent sources play in achieving global decarbonization goals.
