• Acquire the skill of modelling and simulation for successful, bankable clean energy projects

The delegates on this training course will be utilising a variety of proven teaching techniques. Each section shall begin with an introduction, followed by a presentation of the key technical concepts. It will include PowerPoint presentations, videos, illustrations, real case studies, and hands-on exercises. Finally, at the end of each section, a group discussion (Q&A) shall be held.

The organisation (developers, contractors, and project owners) of the delegates attending this training course will benefit directly and indirectly in:

• Appropriately sizing and selecting Clean Energy systems and components
• Enhancing economic impact and increase in project revenues
• Demonstrating the positive environmental impact on the carbon footprint of the organization
• Minimising risks associated with technology, site selection, construction, and financing
