Energy Engineering roadmap

Renewable energy, storage, smart grids and power electronics.

Start with Energy Foundations, follow the steps in order, then build a project, prepare for interviews and earn your certificate.

Foundations

1. Energy Foundations — Units, conversion and thermodynamics. Energy vs power, units and conversion chains, the laws of thermodynamics and power cycles that limit every energy system.
2. Thermal & Conventional Power — Boilers, turbines and heat recovery. Boilers and heat exchangers, Rankine-cycle steam plants, gas turbines, combined cycles and cogeneration.

Core skills

1. Renewable Energy — Sun, wind and water. Solar PV fundamentals and system design, wind energy and wind-farm design, and hydroelectric power.
2. Storage, Hydrogen & Nuclear — Firming a clean energy system. Batteries and grid-scale storage, green hydrogen and fuel cells, and nuclear fission power.

Advanced

1. Power Grids — Generation, transmission and smart grids. How power stations, transmission networks and smart-grid technologies deliver electricity reliably.
2. Efficiency & Energy Economics — Saving energy and valuing investments. Pumps and system efficiency, energy audits and management, engineering economics, LCOE and energy policy.
