COURSE DETAILS

Renewable energy has a crucial role to play in addressing the continuously growing concerns about the sustainability of the development that is taking place in today's society. The depleting reserves of fossil fuel that is the dominant source of energy and also the emissions associated with it has necessitated the exploration of alternative sources of energy.

TERI is continuously involved in research and development on renewable energy and related technological innovations, and has always attempted to bridge the gap between the advent of technology and its practical application. With experts dedicated to various fields of renewable energy and energy efficiency, who have rich experience in this field, TERI works towards sharing its knowledge for the promotion of effective use of renewable energy and in creating awareness on energy-efficiency measures.

With the objective of mass application of renewable energy in mind, TERI has been conducting international training programmes on renewable energy and energy efficiency.

The programme aims at creating awareness among the participants of various countries and sensitizing them towards the role renewables will play in sustainability of future development. The course covers the basics of different sources and forms of energy such as solar, wind, biomass-based system development and the relevant issues and challenges, role of renewable energy and energy efficiency, small hydro technology, analysis tool for renewable energy, rural energy-related issues and challenges, and also the policies related to renewable energy. The training course is structured in such a fashion so as to enable both theoretical understanding of the various fields of renewable energy as well as demonstration of their practical applications, with special reference to developing countries.

SCHOLARSHIP

The cost of the course, travel, and stay of the selected participant will be borne by ITEC (Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India).
