Day 1

Renewable Energy Fundamentals & Policy

Understand renewable energy resource assessment, technology overview, and the policy drivers for deployment.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Global Renewable Energy Landscape

  • Installed capacity and growth trajectories: solar, wind, hydro, and others
  • IEA and IRENA outlooks: renewable energy in net-zero scenarios
  • Levelised cost of energy (LCOE): trends and competitiveness vs. fossil fuels
  • Energy security and renewable energy: geographic diversity of resources
Module 2

Solar PV Technology

  • PV cell types: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin film, and bifacial
  • Module specifications: Wp, Voc, Isc, and temperature coefficients
  • PV system components: inverters, mounting, and monitoring
  • Solar resource assessment: GHI, DNI, and irradiance data sources
Module 3

Wind Energy Technology

  • Wind turbine components: rotor, nacelle, tower, and foundation
  • Capacity factor and capacity credit: onshore vs. offshore comparison
  • Wind resource assessment: Weibull distribution and wind rose analysis
  • Offshore wind: monopile, jacket, and floating foundation types
Practical Workshop

Resource assessment exercise: teams evaluate the solar and wind resource for three provided sites using irradiance and wind speed data, and rank by generation potential.

Day 3

Grid Integration & Power Systems

Apply power systems knowledge to integrate variable renewables into electricity networks.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Grid Integration Challenges

  • Variability and intermittency: duck curve and ramp rate requirements
  • Grid stability: frequency, voltage, and inertia in high-renewable grids
  • Curtailment: causes, costs, and mitigation through storage and flexibility
  • Grid codes: fault ride-through, reactive power, and frequency response requirements
Module 2

Power Electronics & Grid Interface

  • Inverter control: grid-following vs. grid-forming inverters
  • Grid synchronisation: phase-locked loop (PLL) and islanding detection
  • Power quality: harmonics, voltage regulation, and reactive compensation
  • STATCOM and SVCs: dynamic reactive power support
Module 3

Energy Management & Forecasting

  • Day-ahead and intraday forecasting: numerical weather prediction models
  • Demand response and smart grid: flexibility mechanisms
  • Hybrid systems: solar-wind-BESS optimisation and dispatch
  • Virtual power plants (VPP): aggregation and market participation
Practical Workshop

Grid integration study: teams analyse the impact of adding a 50 MW solar farm to a provided grid model, identifying voltage and thermal constraint violations and recommending mitigation.

Day 5

O&M, ESG, and the Future of Renewables

Apply O&M best practices, sustainability metrics, and evaluate the future renewable energy landscape.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Renewable Asset Operations & Maintenance

  • Preventive maintenance for solar PV: module cleaning, string testing, and inverter service
  • Wind turbine O&M: planned maintenance, blade inspection, and gearbox monitoring
  • SCADA performance monitoring: PR ratio, availability, and specific yield
  • Predictive maintenance: vibration monitoring and AI-assisted fault detection
Module 2

ESG & Community Engagement

  • Environmental impact: land use, biodiversity, and ecological sensitivity
  • Community benefit funds and co-ownership models
  • Just transition: renewable energy and employment in fossil fuel regions
  • Responsible sourcing: solar supply chain and forced labour audit
Module 3

Future Renewable Technologies

  • Offshore floating wind: FOWT designs and cost trajectory
  • Agrivoltaics, building-integrated PV, and floating solar
  • Next-generation storage: long-duration energy storage and green hydrogen
  • Tidal, wave, and geothermal: emerging renewable energy sources
Practical Workshop
