The Imperial Corporate Training Institute provides an organized and hands-on perspective on the planning, operation, maintenance and optimisation of renewable energy assets during their entire lifecycle through its Renewable Energy Asset Management Training Course. As more and more renewable energy projects (solar, wind, hydro and hybrid systems) are built all over the world, proper asset management has become essential for ensuring the long-term value and efficiency of operations and the long-term reliability of renewable energy assets. This course is aimed specifically at providing a sound foundation between the technical side of renewable energy asset management and the strategic management side of renewable energy asset management to help professionals develop the best decision-making processes and tools to increase the performance of renewable energy assets while minimising operational and financial risk.
Participants will gain thorough knowledge of the entire process of managing a renewable energy asset portfolio from commissioning and early operation through to mature asset optimisation and closure. Participants will learn to use data to drive their decision-making process, how to benchmark the performance of the asset portfolio against industry standards, and how to develop an effective operations strategy that is aligned with the business objectives of the renewable energy asset portfolio. Using an industry-oriented approach, participants will investigate how they can improve the return on investment from diverse renewable energy assets by using performance optimisation techniques and reliability-based practices in order to improve the energy output, reduce downtime and maximise the value of the assets.
