COURSE OVERVIEW
The term “Alternative Energy” refers to the energy produced in an environmentally friendly way with no pollutant gases. Renewable energy (RE) resources are not only renewable but also abundant. A transition to renewable-based energy systems is looking increasingly likely, as their costs decline while the price of oil and gas fluctuates and increases. Solar Energy in the future will be clean, available in abundance, and sustainable.
The Solar Energy Project Design, Management, and Maintenance Course covers fundamental knowledge and reviews the design, installation, and evaluation of residential and commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. The solar training includes site evaluation tools and techniques, solar electric component operation and connection, system design and sizing, and standard requirements and practices. This course will educate participants in areas from design to installation and maintenance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the Solar Energy Project Design, Management and Maintenance course, the participant will be able to understand:
- Introduction to renewable energies and Photovoltaic.
- Solar energy fundamentals.
- Electrical Basics.
- PV- components.
- Step-by-Step Process of a PV-Installation.
- What to look out for! Mistakes and how to not make them.
- System testing after installation and before commissioning.
- Conduct a correct System handover.
- Solve basic problems in photovoltaic energy apparatus and systems.
- Design grid-connected photovoltaic power supply systems.
- Install, configure and commission LV grid-connected photovoltaic power systems.
- How to solve predictable problems in photovoltaic energy apparatus operating at extra-low voltage.
- Comprehensive training in how to design grid-connected power supply systems in line with Standards and guidelines
- How to set up, install and adjust photovoltaic power systems and connect to a supply grid inverter.
- Installation of PV panels on two types of roof construction, installing and commissioning grid-connected inverters.
- Maintenance and Safety Measures
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.
