Battery Energy Storage
Course Objectives
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, energy storage is a rapidly developing technology. There remain many obstacles to increasing penetration of energy storage and in many cases, the capability of energy storage systems is not well understood.
This course will focus on battery energy storage applications. The topics covered in the course will include the following:
- A description of the primary battery energy storage technologies, how they work and their advantages and disadvantages.
- Technical, Economic and Regulatory Drivers For Large-Scale Energy Storage Systems
- The role of battery management systems
- The ability of battery energy storage to provide grid support functionality as well as the issues pertaining to integration of energy storage into electricity networks
- Standards and codes for energy storage systems including for grid integration
Course Benefits
By attending the course, you will gain knowledge and skills to assist you to:
- Appreciate the different battery energy storage technologies and their relative advantages and disadvantages
- Have a systematic understanding of the capabilities of battery energy storage systems and how they should be designed
- Understand battery management systems and their importance
- Gain knowledge of guidelines and standards for integration of energy storage systems into electricity grids
- Gain a practical understanding of how energy storage systems may impact power quality (for better or worse)
Who should attend
Any individual who is interested or requires better understanding of the capabilities of battery energy storage systems, their advantages and disadvantages and how they can best be integrated into the electricity networks of the future.
