The smart grid is here to stay, where consumers are now able to generate their own electricity by installing solar panels on their roof. The smart grids is a comprehensive network system whereby the consumer can sell their electricity surplus to the utilities authority. This green and clean renewable energy are equipped with photo voltaic cells, inverters, storage batteries, smart meters and a charging outlet for electric cars.
On a bigger scale corporations can erect wind turbine towers to generate electricity. This production of electricity is massive and sustainable. These renewable energy can be interconnected to the main grid to compliment the utilities demand and supply of electricity.
By the end of this Smart Grid for Non-Engineers training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the components of a smart grid
- Determine the various types of renewable energy
- Explain the different types of solar panels
- Analyse the common types of wind farms
- Design the components of a smart home
