Course programme
The Electrics for Renewables course is aimed at individuals (professionals and students) and technicians with a strong interest in the electrical systems side of renewable systems. The course is suitable for a wide range of audiences, including engineers, design engineers, and architects.
Course Programme:
- Electrical Fundamentals
- Electrical Safety
- Instrumentation
- Battery Backup
- Inverters
- Earthing and Bonding
- Cable Termination Skills
- Fault Isolation
- Safe Isolation Methods
- Supply System Overview
- Electrical Regulations Overview
At the end of the course, participants should be able to:
- Understand components and arrangements found in renewable systems.
- Recognise the types of instrumentation used in the operation of renewable systems, including sizing, interfacing and using battery backup systems.
- Identify the advantages and limitations of inverter types and technologies.
- Understand the types of electrical dangers and the need for safety.
- Recognise the need for reliable and safe terminations, earthing and bonding regulations.
- Understand the concept of safe isolation and fault isolation techniques and equipment.
