Electric Power Generation Masterclass

Various Electric Power Generation Narratives: Past, Present and Future Technologies

Course Overview

A quantum leap in electric power generation is in progress, from the conventional reliance of fossil fuels to clean and green renewable energy. This migration of technologies is associated with reducing the carbon footprint to net zero and the elimination of greenhouse gases. 

Conventional electric power generation technologies incorporate steam and gas turbines where the fuel can be crude oil, coal or gas. The hybrid method more popularly known as combine cycle power generation was the choice of many utility companies. As the energy demand and supply are not easy to match the nuclear power generation an alternative source. 

Rapid industrialization and with the spiral demand of electric power the present modes of power generation are inadequate and not ecofriendly. Implementation and optimizing the solar and wind energies are game changers with regards to providing and fulfilling the demand for electricity worldwide. Renewable energy integration to the grid can meet the demands of the consumers and reduce transmission congestion effectively. Other technologies for green energy like hydro, geothermal, biomass are gaining momentum for electric power generation. Energy storage systems are vital to ensure continuous flow of electrical energy. Last but not least will be the futuristic smart grids and microgrids for an interruption free flow of electricity to the consumers. 

This Electric Power Generation Masterclass will highlight: 

  • The need to understand carbon neutral solutions and greenhouse gases emissions
  • The concept of combine cycle power generation
  • Emergence of clean and green renewable energy
  • Other renewable energy power generation besides solar and wind
  • Renewable energy integration to the grid including energy storage systems
