Integration of Renewable and Distributed Generation
This course will provide a practical understanding of the principles, practices and problems associated with grid integration of distributed energy resources.
Renewable and distributed generation can provide an effective means to improve network efficiency, decrease reliance on high carbon emission generation, and allow consumers to increase responsibility for their own electricity needs. However, the rapidly increasing installation of distributed generation including solar and wind has increased the complexity and uncertainty in operation, control and protection of electricity networks.
This course covers network planning and reliability aspects for facilitating integration of these new generating technologies, with a focus on solar and wind power integration, as well as energy storage applications. Through practical case studies from local industry experts and researchers, you'll learn about fundamental aspects, operation, control and protection techniques, and methods of integration to improve supply quality and reliability for network operators and customers.
Who should attend?
Managers, utility specialists and technical staff who wish to advise customers on renewable energy integration or who provide services to large clients. The course will also be useful for those who wish to better understand aspects of network design, construction and maintenance techniques for maximising renewable energy hosting capacity.
