Overview
The Professional Certificate of Competency of Energy Storage from the Engineering Institute of Technology students will explore mechanical, electrochemical, and advanced electrical storage methods, including pumped hydro, compressed air, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. The course also covers battery integration, performance, safety, and grid-scale applications. By the end, students will understand energy storage fundamentals, emerging innovations, and practical implementation in real-world systems.
Upon completion, students should be able to:
Understand the basic chemistry of batteries
Identify the advantage and disadvantages of using alternative battery types
Understand the figure of merits, energy, and power density limits of each electrical energy storage component type
Examine battery testing standards, battery charging systems and state of charge measurement techniques
Learn about hybrid systems using batteries
Understand safety and second-life use of batteries
Learn about a variety of applications such as automotive and grid-energy storage systems
