A highly interactive training course on
Smart Grid for Non-Engineers
and Its Relevance with Renewable Energies
Training course overview
In response to consumer demands for safe, secure, and reliable energy systems, the shift towards digitalization has underscored the need for smart grid technology. A smart grid represents an intelligent, automated system designed to monitor electricity flow and enhance distribution efficiency. With environmental protection a global priority, cost-effective strategies to reduce power consumption and promote energy independence are crucial.
This "Smart Grid for Non-Engineers" training course explores fundamental concepts and components of smart grid technology, emphasizing its integration with renewable energies.
Smart grids facilitate the incorporation and generation of renewable energy sources. Consumers now have the option to generate their own electricity, utilizing smart meters to manage consumption and potentially sell surplus energy back to utility providers. These grids are equipped with demand response capabilities to balance electricity consumption with supply, and are poised to integrate new technologies such as energy storage systems and widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
Key topics covered in this Coventry Academy training course include:
- Overview of conventional power grid systems
- Blueprint and defining characteristics of smart grids
- Various types of renewable energy sources
- Wind turbines and their role in renewable energy
- Photovoltaic cells (solar cells) and their applications in energy production
What are the goals?
By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role and benefits of a smart grid
- Determine the various types of renewable energy
- Explain the different types of solar panels
- Analyse the common types of wind farms
- Design and components of a smart home
