COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.  

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Solar PV/BESS/Renewables. It covers the types of renewable energy and its importance in the global energy transition; the role of renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions; the solar energy principles, solar radiation and its importance in PV systems; the types of solar panels and efficiency and performance factors of solar panels; solar photovoltaic (PV) system components, solar PV system design and sizing, photovoltaic energy generation principles and the difference between grid-connected versus off-grid systems. 

Further, the course will also discuss the importance of energy storage in renewable energy integration; the different types of energy storage systems, advantages of battery energy storage systems (BESS) and economic and environmental benefits; the battery technologies for BESS and BESS design, sizing, operation, control and applications; the safety issues in energy storage systems, standards and regulations for battery storage and regular maintenance practices; and the lifecycle management and safety protocols for battery management and handling. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the PV system performance monitoring and the common issues in solar PV systems; the maintenance strategies for solar PV systems, troubleshooting PV systems, battery maintenance and performance evaluation; optimizing solar PV and BESS integration; the hybrid systems, microgrids and off-grid solutions, energy management systems (EMS) and grid integration of renewable energy systems; the advanced control techniques for hybrid systems and the emerging technologies in solar PV including advancements in energy storage technologies; the smart grid and IoT in renewable energy, global trends in renewable energy policy and regulation; and the economic and environmental impact of renewables and future challenges and opportunities in solar PV/BESS.
