Certified Flexible Power System Specialist (CFPSS)
The six-months online training “Certified Flexible Power System Specialist” has been developed in response to the increasing need to understand the operation of power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy as wind and solar-PV (VRE). It aims to explain the effects of Variable Renewable Energies on power system operations and generation capacity expansion planning. The training shall equip participants with knowledge on flexibility options in power systems that that allow high shares of Variable Renewable Energy.
Introductory courses
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.
CFPSS courses
- PV application
