This specialisation allows you to focus on sustainable energy technologies to address concerns about existing energy production. You will learn about the operation, benefits and limitations surrounding each of the major renewable energy technologies that play a dominant role in the growth of the emerging energy sector. In addition, you will develop an understanding around how such technologies modify existing electricity networks and the markets in which they operate. The specialisation is suitable for new graduates, professionals and managers who are keen to upgrade their existing design and management skills as well as to develop advanced theoretical and applied knowledge in the area of renewable and sustainable energy engineering.
