Smart Grid for Non-Engineers

Consumers are increasingly seeking safe, secure, and reliable grid systems. With the rise of digitalization, the demand for smart grids is also growing. A smart grid is an advanced automated system that monitors electricity flow and enhances the efficiency of electricity distribution. In today’s world, where environmental protection is a top priority, finding cost-effective ways to reduce power consumption and boost energy independence is crucial. This Smart Grid for Non-Engineers training course will explore the key concepts and components of smart grids, highlighting their connection to renewable energy.

Smart grids involve the use and generation of renewable energy. Consumers now have the option to produce their own electricity for personal use, with any surplus energy able to be sold back to local utility companies. This can be facilitated by installing smart meters. Additionally, smart grids offer demand response capabilities to align electricity consumption with supply and can integrate new technologies, such as energy storage devices and large-scale adoption of electric vehicles.

This training course will feature:

• The conventional power grid system
• Smart grid blueprint and characteristics
• Types of renewable energy
• Wind turbines
• Photo voltaic cells

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the role and benefits of a smart grid
• Determine the various types of renewable energy
• Explain the different types of solar panels
• Analyse the common types of wind farms
• Design and components of a smart home

This Smart Grid for Non-Engineers training course will greatly benefit all non-engineering personnel. This will be from the non-engineers, administrative personnel, safety officers and maintenance technicians.
