Power Grid Training for renewable energy generators

Description

This course provides renewable stakeholders with a detailed understanding of principles, practices and problems associated with power grid dynamics and how it impacts the operations of a renewable generator as well as the local and wider grid. Our generic topics cover the roles, responsibilities and challenges for wind and solar generators. The training is targeted to renewable plant/site managers who are monitoring their site electrically, and senior decision makers managing renewable portfolio assets.

These programs can be customised for all renewable stakeholders depending on the required focus and degree of technical complexity.

Course aim

The course is designed to provide the participant with the knowledge and skills to perform their obligations as a generator. It will provide insight into the dynamics of voltage control, security and reliability that impact on decision making. Specific topics include:

  • Regulations, responsibilities and obligations that renewable generators have to AEMO and the Energy regulator
  • Gaining an understanding of the effects your system has on the local and wider networks i.e. voltage and var control, system security, meeting your outputs per your bid profile.
  • Manage critical events such as simultaneous single/multiple network faults, and storm events of various magnitudes. (This includes liaison procedures with multiple operating authorities. It also encompasses invoking crisis management procedures and mutual response plans).

Target learner group

This course is targeted to renewable plant/site managers who are monitoring their site electrically, and senior decision makers managing renewable portfolio assets.

Learning activities

Presentations, group discussions and scenario-based activities designed to reflect realistic power grid situations.

Learning outcomes

The outcome of the course is to equip renewable stakeholders with the necessary technical and operational knowledge to perform their obligations as a generator. It will provide insight into the dynamics of voltage control, security and reliability that impact on decision making.
