What is Microgrid Certification Training?

Microgrid Certification Training is a 3-day course designed for all engineers who want to learn, design, or operate microgrids. It is also suitable for power traders to understand modern microgrid technologies and independent system operator personnel. The training covers understanding energy management systems (EMS) in microgrids, including centralized or decentralized microgrids.

What is Microgrid technology?

Microgrid technology is a local energy source with a control capability, comprising Energy Distribution Resources (DER), which include management, storage, and loads. One of the advantages of a microgrid is that they can be connected or disconnected from the grid to operate autonomously. (Microgrid technology is a local cluster energy source with a control capability comprising Energy Distribution Resources (DER), which cover management, storage, and loads. One advantage of microgrids is that they can be connected or disconnected from the grid to operate autonomously.)

What is a microgrid learning path?

This learning path will cover the fundamental elements of microgrid definitions, design, and analysis. First Chapter provides a comprehensive overview of microgrid concepts, functional features, and benefits, followed by examples of applications around the world as well as possible future directions.

What is a microgrid energy system?

A microgrid is a self-sufficient energy system that serves a discrete geographic footprint, such as a college campus, hospital complex, business center or neighborhood. Within microgrids are one or more kinds of distributed energy (solar panels, wind turbines, combined heat & power, generators) that produce its power.

What is included in the microgrid course?

The course includes a detailed view of the components that go into a microgrid as well as guidance on how to develop a business model, evaluate financing options, and navigate policy. An extended set of supporting tools for developing a microgrid—such as modeling software and system analyzers—are also discussed in detail.

What is microgrid Institute?

Microgrid Institute Director Michael Burr provides a comprehensive introduction to how community microgrids work, what problems they can solve, and how market trends are driving microgrid development. This free course shows you how to use HOMER software to simulate microgrid performance.
