Energy Mix and Electricity Supply Infrastructure #800624

Course Details

Energy mix refers to the combination of different energy sources used to meet a region's or country's energy needs. The electricity supply infrastructure is the network of power plants, transmission lines, and distribution systems that deliver electricity to consumers. This course will provide a comprehensive understanding of energy mix and electricity supply infrastructure, focusing on the key challenges, opportunities, and strategies for ensuring a reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy future.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Understand the concept of energy mix: Grasp the importance of balancing various energy sources to meet energy demands.
• Analyze different energy sources: Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of renewable and non-renewable energy options.
• Assess electricity supply infrastructure: Understand the components and challenges associated with power grids.
• Develop energy strategies: Create plans for optimizing energy mix and improving electricity supply infrastructure.
