Professional Certificate of Competency in Smart Grids
Industry Training A smart grid is an electricity network that uses digital and other advanced technologies in an integrated fashion to be able to monitor and intelligently and securely manage the transport of electricity. The course covers smart grid infrastructure and the associated technologies such as smart metering, energy storage, SCADA, demand side management, artificial intelligence and cyber security.For a sustainable energy future, it is essential that engineers understand the role of smart grids and collaborate with each other to achieve the smart grid values. Due to the nature of the smart grid concept, the course is suitable for all engineers including electrical and electronic engineers, data communication engineers and industrial automation engineers.
After covering the necessary theory, the course will introduce practical studies involving the modelling and simulation of various system conditions using appropriate software tools. Students will also gain skills in interpreting simulation results.
