Description
About this certification:
The energy system is poised for exponential change. We are seeing the dynamic shift from centralized power production to local generation and storage, flexible consumption, together with the advent of electric mobility. The rules are changing. By 2030 we expect Europe to achieve higher integration of renewable energy sources, leading to a new energy system more sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-efficient. But it won’t be easy. First, we need to rethink energy sources and how we deploy new technologies.
This certification introduces you to the critical challenges in navigating this change, and the role of energy storage and batteries in accelerating the transition. You will get a general view of the electric energy market and how it is evolving to accommodate the creation of a sustainable energy society. You will appreciate the disruptive character of battery storage in different sectors and evaluate how electrification can change the energy future. You will also get an overview of new battery-based products and services and emerging business models while understanding the drivers but also barriers to their implementation.
This certification empowers you to:
- Discuss the worldwide drivers and trends behind energy transition and the increasing focus on renewable energy sources
- Understand the need for energy storage in a renewable source-based energy system, as well as the challenges associated with energy transition in terms of grid flexibility and energy storage needs
- Grasp the crucial role of battery storage to the energy transition and the associated benefits of battery technologies as energy storage devices
- Explain the main applications of battery storage in the electric grid and related challenges
- Reflect on future perspectives for energy storage in the electric grid and on transportation, power, and residential sectors, and correctly interpret the enabling potential of new technological storage innovations or societal developments.
