Mastering Modern Power Systems

Online

This course is designed to provide a time-effective yet wide-ranging insight into the changing world in which power grid operators, power project developers, policymakers and power system solutions providers find themselves.

It will describe and discuss challenges and solutions in future low-carbon energy systems, where grid infrastructures and power system operations must develop in parallel with growing and irreversible trends such as ‘variable’ renewable power, electrification, energy storage and energy asset decentralisation. It will help attendees understand and evaluate the options available to ensure that a future low-carbon power system retains the reliability and resilience of a conventional one. It will describe how multiple options and a ‘systems-thinking’ approach is critical to the successful evolution towards the power system of the future.

As such, the course will provide invaluable content to a range of stakeholders in the power system. Information will be delivered with a clear business and commercial focus, accessible to non-technical job functions yet providing enough technical depth to provide attendees a level of understanding which is essential to working on the issues in future.

Course Sessions

Key trends, challenges and resilience risks in evolving power systems
Power system flexibility, from grid operations to long-term planning
Meeting peak demand and capacity growth requirements
Grid-edge assets: distributed energy, smart grids and virtual power plants
Modern power systems, China, and the rise of the ‘electrostate’

Benefits of Attending

Understand the key challenges facing power systems and electricity grids
Compare and contrast the flexibility solutions which enable grid resilience
Quantify crucial aspects including renewable power variability, storage scalability, the capacity impacts of EVs, and more
Evaluate the extent to which thermal power plants can be replaced for grid operations
List the key solutions available to grow grid capacity
Evaluate how distributed grid-connected devices will coexist with larger-scale systems, and impact system reliability
Understand how market-based solutions (such as pricing innovation and competitive grid services) are a crucial adjunct to technology innovation
Evaluate the factors and constraints which will determine whether and how a power system can support the move to an energy-secure ‘electrostate’

Live Online Course - How It Works

The structure of our virtual learning program is designed to keep the same levels of engagement and networking as our on-site public courses. Course content is delivered through our easy-to-use online learning platform and is supplemented by case studies and practical exercises.

Like our classroom-based public courses, you will have live interaction with our course facilitators and other participants. Our live online courses are led by our experienced instructors, who will provide you with easily digestible content, using knowledge learned from many years in the industry, during scheduled times. Delegates will receive copies of the course materials electronically.

This course is scheduled to take place over 5 live online sessions using virtual learning technology.
