Learn About Microhydro Power at the Renewable Energy Training Center at Morrisville State College

Learn about microhydro renewable energy, generating power from sources of moving water, during a three-day workshop, July 23-25, at Morrisville State College's Renewable Energy Training Center (RETC).



The Microhydro Power workshop, which will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is for anyone interested in learning about microhydro electric systems, renewable energy installers/retailers and homeowners with a water resource.



Topics of discussion will include basic system components and site requirements for microhydro electric systems. A combination of lectures and discussions will be followed by hands-on demonstrations to familiarize participants with this renewable energy technology.



The course is taught by Paul Cunningham, an expert on residential hydro systems. Cunningham is the owner of Energy Systems and Design Ltd., a company that manufactures a line of microhydro generators he invented.



Participants earn 18 PDH and .18 CEU.



Tuition for the workshop, which will be held at the RETC in Shannon Hall, is $600 with scholarships available to offset costs.
