What an Extraordinary Course, I really appreciate meeting with such a skilled professor and a tutor too.\n\nThough his main focus was on the USA and quiz were mainly focusing on the USA not globally.
por GGSep 20, 2019
Interesting course to understand the basics of electricity and the grid. I think that the facts related to renewable energy should be more up to date since this is a sector that evolves very rapidly.
por FPMar 5, 2020
I had a great time and got alot to learn. Each and every topic was covered in detail and instructors explanation was beyond everything. Each and every concept was delivered in a proper manner.
por SMFeb 20, 2020
well, Thank you very much learn this course for electrical engineering i am now able to understand the power system after finish this course . I hope in future i learn more course like this
por ARMar 16, 2020
Very interesting course and I have enhanced my knowledge related to topics like Switch gear and protection system, Transmission lines, Transformers and very best topic is Smart Grid.
por NWJan 7, 2019
Great entry course. Very easy for those that do not have a background in the subject. I am currently in the process of transitioning industry. It was good for a refresher overview.
por SCMar 12, 2019
OVERALL SYLLABUS COVERAGE IS GOOD\n\nQUESTIONS STANDARD MAY BE IMPROVED\n\nSYLLABUS DEALTS ONLY ABOUT THE US POWER SYSTEM NETWORK DATA\n\nOPTIONS FOR SOME QUESTIONS ARE NOT CLEAR
por SWDec 31, 2019
Got a great high level understanding of the electric grid. A slight improvement would be changing to metric units and give a more global perspective than limiting to US grid.
por KRJan 9, 2019
This course is not detailed course. There was an overview of everything. This course should be explained because all the topics covered in this section were so interesting.
por ABOct 16, 2019
Contains the necessary basics of electricity.It is easy to comprehend for people who are new to this field as well serves as a good refresher for electrical engineers.
por BONov 3, 2019
Great introduction to renewable energy systems. Wish there was more technical information references. Perhaps it could be provided in the additional resources outside
por RMOct 15, 2018
Good introduction for non technical persons who want an insight into power systems. Its a good stepping stone for those who want to stud
por MMFeb 2, 2020
Thanks for all the concepts. This course has helped me in learning about the smart grid hierarchy and the dire need in this modern era.
por PROct 2, 2019
Good course to get a basic overview (or quick recap for electrical eng.) of energy generation, distribution, and transmission.
por TYDec 29, 2019
This course can motivate you towards the development of research in sustainable energy sources. teaching was well and good.
por MADec 10, 2019
I get a lot of knowledge from this course.\n\nFinancial aid is also available for this course.\n\nDon't skip this course
