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 Asdvanced Photovoltaics (PV) and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). It covers the advanced PV technologies, PV cell, module and array design; the solar radiation measurement methods, tools for site selection, shading analysis and performance ratio and yield estimation; the PV system components and architecture, system sizing and design considerations; and the difference between grid-connected and off-grid systems. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the energy storage technologies, battery management system (BMS), sizing of BESS for PV systems and BESS system architecture and topologies; the control strategies for PV + BESS, thermal management, passive and active cooling techniques and fire detection and suppression systems; the advanced inverter capabilities, hybrid energy systems, SCADA and remote monitoring systems; and the grid code requirements and compliance. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the pre-commissioning checklist, performance testing for PV and BESS, grounding, insulation and continuity tests, safety verifications and energization procedures; the cyber risks in grid-connected assets, securing SCADA and control systems; the operation strategies for optimal performance, performance monitoring and KPIs and preventive and predictive maintenance; troubleshooting PV systems and BESS systems and implementing safety practices; the emergency response procedures and lockout/tagout (LOTO) and hazard mitigation; the financial analysis and business models, regulations, incentives and market trends; and the innovations and emerging trends.
