Energy Storage Systems Short Course
September 6 @ 08:00 - September 10 @ 17:00
This course aims to enable participants to understand the concepts and technologies used for electric Energy Storage (ES). Lithium Ion (Li-ion) batteries will be highlighted as the dominant technology in new projects. The complex safety, performance and life issues of this technology will be addressed.
The technical and financial parameters that drive the project designs of grid-connected and off-grid ES will be discussed.
Participants will become familiar with the major factors that determine Energy Storage selection and sizing, and receive various case studies to use for benchmarking.
The module aims to provide professionals with sufficient understanding to establish the key requirements and financial benefits of Energy Storage technology and applications in various grid-connected and off-grid systems.
Who should attend?
Any person or organization that needs to learn more about electrical systems, integration of renewable energy supply, and electricity planning will benefit from this course.
