Battery Energy Storage

Energy storage is often seen as a solution to many of the difficulties encountered due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy resources such as solar PV and wind energy. However, the capability of energy storage systems is not well understood and there remain many obstacles to increasing penetration. This course provides comprehensive coverage of battery energy storage technologies, how they work, and their advantages and disadvantages. You'll explore technical, economic and regulatory drivers for large-scale energy storage systems, understand battery management systems and their importance, and learn about the ability of battery energy storage to provide grid support functionality. Gain knowledge of standards and codes for energy storage systems including grid integration, and develop a practical understanding of how energy storage systems may impact power quality.
