The Imperial Corporate Training Institute offers Energy Storage Integration for Renewables Training Course provides a tactical, qualitative, and holistic view of energy storage technology and its role in the integration of renewable energy. Increasingly, as renewable energy use expands globally, the associated issues of variability, reliability of the system and the stability of the grid are becoming more critical. This training programme addresses these challenges through an in-depth study of the technical, operational and planning elements of integrating energy storage technology within a renewable generation system in order to deliver a more resilient and efficient power system. The participant will acquire a full comprehension of the manner in which storage enhances performance, optimises the utilisation of energy and aids in achieving long-term sustainability objectives.
The emphasis of this course is heavily placed on hybrid systems utilizing energy storage with renewable sources (i.e. solar, wind), as a means of increasing responsiveness to changing energy flow. Participants in the course will learn about real-life methods for managing intermittent resources through the use of stored energy in smoothing out the fluctuations in power output, as well as the ways in which energy storage can help balance supply and demand and mitigate the impact of the intermittency of renewable resources. Additionally, learners will understand how energy storage supports the grid through the provision of services such as frequency regulation, voltage control, peak shaving, and reserve capacity.
