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 on the Fundamentals of Renewable Energy Integration. It covers the various renewable energy sources and the comparison of renewable and non-renewable energy sources; the environmental and economic benefits of renewable energy; the role of renewable energy in sustainable development; the current trends and statistics in global and local renewable energy adoption; and the basics of solar and wind energy.

Further, the course will also discuss the solar energy systems design for residential, commercial and industrial applications; the factors affecting solar power system design; the wind energy systems design, grid-connected solar and wind systems and energy storage solutions; the technical challenges of renewable integration and the role of smart grids in renewable energy integration; and the demand response, load management and real-time monitoring and control systems.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the maintenance of power quality with high penetration of renewables; the economic analysis of renewable energy projects; assessing the environmental impact of renewable energy projects; the mitigation strategies for minimizing environmental impact; the renewable energy policies and regulations, community engagement and social acceptance; the project planning and implementation and best practices for operating and maintaining solar and wind power systems; monitoring the performance of renewable energy systems; and the key performance indicators (KPIs), data analysis and risk management strategies and tools.
