The transition to renewable energy is a vital process in the modern world. With events around the world contributing to high energy prices and organizations wishing to be more energy conscious and environmentally friendly, understanding Renewable energy systems is now of the upmost importance.
The Solar Energy: Integration of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems and Microgrids training course has been developed to assist the average technician, engineer or manager to understand the planning, design, installation, maintenance, analysis, integration and condition monitoring of Solar PV systems.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- Standards and best practices used for Solar PV technologies
- Solar PV systems
- EESS (battery storage) design and integration
- Solar PV and EESS performance estimates
- Design, installation, inspection and maintenance of solar PV systems
By the end of this Solar Energy: Integration of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems and Microgrids training course, participants will learn to:
- Produce detailed designs of Solar PV and EESS (Battery Storage) systems
- Describe and produce in detail performance estimates of Solar PV and EESS
- Analyze system performance and potential system issues
- Discuss in detail the installation and maintenance requirements of Solar PV systems
- Be able to apply Best practice techniques and regulatory requirements to Solar PV systems
Each training course participant will receive a copy of the comprehensive course notes. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using presentations, questions and answers and short films. The training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions. Case studies and examples will be discussed in the daily sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions. Only minimum note taking is encouraged to ensure maximum delegate attention during the training course.
Organisations who send participants toward this training course shall benefit by having:
- Delegates conversant with Solar PV technology and EESS (Battery Storage) technology
- Delegates with developed skills to identify the different components which make up a Solar PV system
- Delegates that are able to analyse Solar PV and Battery Storage performance estimates
- Delegates that are able to understand how to integrate Renewable technology into their own HVDC power grids
