Introduction
Renewable energy is growing at an astounding pace and now accounts for more than three-fourths of all new electricity generating capacity installed worldwide. Costs for renewables — notably solar photovoltaics (PV) — have dropped to the point where they can undercut coal and natural gas-fired generation. With projections for further cost reductions and continued industry growth, renewables are challenging many of the assumptions upon which traditional utility planning and operation relies, creating countless new business opportunities, and disrupting many of the existing organizations that make up the electricity grid.
This course provides a thorough and concise primer on renewable technologies and markets. It delivers insight into the technologies themselves, focusing on real-world cost and performance. It covers metrics for assessing renewable technologies, and for comparing them to traditional generation. It untangles the complex issue of grid integration, explaining the technical and economic challenges that variable renewables impose on electricity grid operation. And it offers a pragmatic guide to the various policies and evolving market conditions that both help and hinder renewables.
Objectives
- Master basic energy concepts and principles
- Gain an understanding of renewable energy technologies, including their cost and performance characteristics
- Evaluate grid integration options – how to fit renewables into the electricity system
- Review the latest data on renewable energy market trends and projections
- Identify opportunities and risks in the booming renewable energy industry
By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practices. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
This course is targeted at those new to the renewable energy industry, and those seeking to enter this rapidly growing field. This course assumes no prior technical knowledge.
