Microgrid Training Workshop covers the essential elements of current and future Microgrid technologies. It is the answer to your Microgrid knowledge need, from Photovoltaic (PV), Wind Farm, Battery Energy Storage systems (BESS), Plug-in Electric Vehicle (PEV), Microgrid control, islanded mode operation, grid-connected operation, energy management techniques, voltage source converters in Microgrids and more.
As a leader in the teaching industry for more than 15 years am glad to offer this intensive crash course which begins with an overview of Microgrid technology, the history behind it, major components, main operating modes, and a brief review of energy management necessity in Microgrids. We will then introduce the major components of a Microgrid including wind farms and their relative control approaches, battery energy storage and its control capabilities, PV modules, application, operation, and control methodology, and plug-in electric vehicle technology. Based on the needs, more components such as battery charge stations, dynamic loads, and transmission lines may be added.
Our Microgrid Training Workshop is an intensive learning experience that covers the essential elements of the Microgrid area. Workshop courses are ideal for busy professionals who want to stay current in the modern power system field but have limited time to be learning new material. Our instructors have experienced academia and industry professionals including technology leaders, project managers, technical authors, engineers, consultants, academic instructors, CTOs, and course developers.
