Applying Renewable Energy: Large-scale systems
Applying Renewable Energy: Large-scale Systems provides fundamental knowledge on large-scale grid connected renewable energy systems for electricity production.
Photovoltaics:
- Applications and market development
- Solar radiation
- System components
- System configurations (grid-tied and off-grid)
- Introduction to system design and yield estimation
Wind power:
- Wind as a resource
- Physical basics of wind power
- Turbine elements
- Energy yield calculation
- Wind farm planning steps
Concentrated Solar Power (CSP):
- Potential
- Technologies
- Plant cooling
- Electricity storage
- Energy yield calculation
Additionally, each participant will have access to short introductory courses on energy and electricity topics to learn or revise the basics. These courses are not mandatory, and will not be covered in the exam.
Receive a reminder one week before the registration deadline.
After the online training, you will be able to:
- Assess resources and suitability of sites for each technology
- Decide which components are to be used for which purpose
- Roughly calculate system size and energy yield and determine crucial parameters
- Explain the principle functioning of each technology
Upon successful finalisation of the training, you will receive a RENAC Certificate.
