Description
About this certification:
The grid is changing. And so too are the challenges it faces. As solar, wave, hydro, and wind power, distributed and variable generation plants are increasingly integrated, it is becoming imperative to understand the technical challenges as well as the possibilities facing our power systems.
This certification gives you unparalleled insight into the fundamentals of power systems, from direct to alternating current, active to reactive power, and more. You will explore frequency control, how active demand and storage can support the system, and the future evolution of the electricity grid. And you will emerge with a rock-solid understanding of the key issues at play.
This certification empowers you to:
- Describe the critical elements of frequency and voltage control
- Differentiate between power inverters and synchronous generators
- Explain the role of storage and demand response in balancing supply and demand
- Respond to the need for more communication networks within the electricity grid and the increase of renewable energy sources
