Smart Grid Technologies for Renewable Training Course by Imperial’s Corporate Training Institute is an immersive professional development programme to enhance an individual’s knowledge about current trends in technology and how they are changing electric utility systems to better connect to renewable sources of energy.
As electric utility systems move faster away from the traditional sources of generation to more decentralised and intermittent sources, technology must also be adapted and optimized to maximize the benefits of using renewable sources of energy in conjunction with traditional generation sources. ICT’s Smart Grid Technology Training course provides a unique opportunity to develop an in-depth understanding of smart grid technology, providing valuable insight into how to utilise Smart Grid Technologies to enhance the operations of existing utilities while achieving the same financial returns as older traditional technologies.
Students will be presented with the opportunity to learn about the fundamental principles associated with Grids, communication systems, automated controls, and other related technologies. In addition, the Smart Grid Technology Training Course addresses how utility companies can utilize Demand Response technologies, Advance Metering System(AMS), and Intelligent Control/Automated Systems to convert traditional grids into flexible, responsive platforms. Throughout the course, students will learn about the appropriate level of technical and operational understanding to effectively manage and design intelligent, integrated electrical systems for the purpose of using renewable energy in a variety of different energy markets.”
