Professional Certificate of Competency in Renewable Energy Systems Engineering Institute of Technology

Overview

The Professional Certificate of Competency in Renewable Energy Systems from the Engineering Institute of Technology  is designed for engineers who work with electrical systems involving the utilization of renewable energy.

The objective of this course is to impart detailed knowledge of the design and planning of power generation using renewable sources, along with the role of power electronics as part of renewable energy systems.

Sustainable energy is a concept which needs to be reinforced in the interest of preserving the environment and is going to continue being a significant focus area for future decades. A thorough knowledge of the technologies utilising renewable sources, their economical implication, and their pros and cons, is essential for all engineers.

This course aims to provide detailed knowledge and appreciation of renewable technologies. Students will not only gain in-depth understanding of renewable power fundamentals, but will also be introduced with advanced associated technologies such as energy storage, distributed generation, microgrid and the use of artificial intelligence in renewable systems. Further, student will gain practical skills on the modelling and simulation of popular renewable systems such as wind and solar power systems.

What you will learn/gain from the Renewable Energy Systems Short Course:

• The operation and control of popular renewable systems such as solar, wind and hydro power;
• Fundamentals of promising renewable sources such as hydrogen, geothermal, biomass and tidal energy;
• Thorough knowledge of renewable energy integration into power systems;
• Understanding and appreciation of renewable energy related technologies such as energy storage and distributed generation;
• Practical skills of renewable system modelling and simulation.
