Course Overview

Electricity is one of the major commodities in our economy, and it is one of the few commodities that never had an economical or practical method to store the product. Although it is difficult to store electricity directly, electric energy can be stored in other forms, such as potential, chemical, or kinetic energy. This course is based on Energy Storage Systems (ESS) in the new renewable energy era. As intermittent renewable energy and electric vehicles become more prevalent, there is a greater need for energy storage. In this Energy Storage Systems, Design & Maintenance training course, we will have the main focus on covering electrochemical battery systems (batteries) and will also cover pumped hydroelectric, compressed air, fuel cells, flow batteries, flywheels, and gravity ESS. We will cover all the aspects of modernizing the grid from an energy storage point of view, from the individual household to the large utility-scale infrastructure.

This training course will highlight:

Energy Storage System Technologies
Energy Storage System Applications
Energy Storage Systems and the Utility Grid
Residential and Commercial Energy Storage Systems
Utility-Scale Energy Storage Systems

Learning Objectives

By the end of this Energy Storage Systems, Design & Maintenance training course, the participants will be able to:

Identify Energy Storage System Types
Design Energy Storage Systems
Evaluate Existing and Future Energy Storage System Technologies
Analyze Energy Storage System Data Financial Programs
Understand how to Incorporate Energy Storage Systems into Existing Infrastructure
Know the various types of energy storage systems (ESS)
Understand the relative cost differences of ESS;
Know the benefits of ESS for the generation
Know how ESS can benefit T&D infrastructure
Know how ESS creates value for the end user;
Understand the advantages of lead-acid batteries;
Know the concerns with using Ni-Cads in energy storage;
Know the benefits of Li-ion batteries for ESS
Understand the benefits of sodium-sulfur batteries
Know how compressed air can be used for energy storage
Understand how pumped storage hydro works; and
See the potential benefit of PHEV for energy storage.

Target Audience

This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Electrical Engineers
Electrical Supervisors
Maintenance Technicians
Managers in charge of Installations
Project Engineers
Professionals involved in the design, analysis, installation, and maintenance Solar PV Systems.

Training Methodology

This training course is designed based on the adult learning concept and will combine presentations with instructor-guided interactive discussions between participants relating to their interests. Practical exercises, video material and case studies aiming at stimulating these discussions and providing maximum benefit to the participants will support the formal presentation sessions. Above all, the course leader will make extensive use of case examples and case studies of issues in which he has been personally involved

Pre & Post course assessments will be used to measure the effectiveness of this training.
