Course description
This course will allow participants to gain practical and theoretical knowledge about utility scale commercial and industrial solar and storage systems with a focus on real-world applications and current working examples of the various technologies.
This is the second of two courses in the Utility Scale Commercial & Industrial Solar and Storage Series. We recommend taking the "Utility Scale Commercial & Industrial Solar and Storage 101" course first, but it's not required.
Learning Objectives - Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- Describe the differences and similarities of Hydrogen Energy Storage and Battery Storage
- Develop a systems’ appropriate “value stack” based on comparing a grid/utility values, commercial values and client values
- Understand a systems financial benefits based on its “value stack”
- Employ the courses “Case Studies” to evaluate future projects
- Evaluate Energy Storage Systems (ESS) projects and the value streams that they utilize to create strong ROI’s
- Develop ESS systems using third party aggregators and project developers
- Choose the best potential partners/collaborators/consultants to create the most effective project teams
- Understand current solar + storage costs for project planning and comparison
- Leverage the best financing options for particular projects
- Implement a streamlined project plan from site preparation through O&M
- Develop the most effective process for offering and responding to RFP’s and RFI’s and how best to review third party proposals
- Implement an effective commissioning process throughout a project
- Generate and refine methods, policy and procedures to create and maintain proper cyber security
- Create best practices and key performance metrics for Operation and Maintenance
- Build critical design elements for Fire Safety into the systems
- Leverage electric vehicles as they are deployed for best load-shock management and as storage resources in aggregation
- Think about future technologies like blockchain and public ledger accounting and their impact on renewable energy and energy storage projects
- Use the elements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IOT) in ESS deployment and operation for enhanced project yields
