Battery Energy Storage Systems
Storage changes what an electrical system can do, and introduces hazards that conventional electrical training does not cover. This course covers technologies, sizing, integration and the safety regime storage demands.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.
- 01Storage technologies compared and their operating characteristics
- 02Duty cycles: backup, peak shaving, arbitrage and stabilisation
- 03Sizing storage for energy and for power
- 04Integration with solar, generators and the grid connection
- 05Battery management systems, monitoring and state of health
- 06Thermal runaway, fire risk, containment and emergency response
- 07Cost, degradation and the economics over system life
What you will gain
- Compare storage technologies and their operating characteristics
- Size storage against the duty it must perform
- Integrate storage with generation and the grid connection

Motor Control Centres and Variable Speed Drives
Motors consume the majority of industrial electricity and their control gear is where much of the downtime originates. This course covers motor control centre construction, starting methods and the drives that control speed and save energy.
Solar Photovoltaic System Design and Installation
Solar installations underperform when they are sized on optimism rather than on load data and site conditions. This course covers system sizing, component selection, installation practice and commissioning for grid tied and hybrid systems.
Substation Operation and Maintenance
Substations concentrate risk and consequence in one place. This course covers the equipment, switching discipline and maintenance regime that keep a substation safe and available.
