Renewable Energy: Thermal Solar System

Introduction

The training course presents the basics of renewable energy systems and their applications. Different types of technologies including solar, wind and biomass will be introduced.

The course covers a wide range of applications of renewable energy, including electrical power generation, heating, cooling, drying, water desalination, etc. The course also introduces economics, feasibility and policy issues related to renewable energy projects.

Objectives

    Delegates will gain an overall appreciation of the applicable standards and working practices for:

    • Different types of renewable energy sources
    • Get familiar with the relevant up to date renewable energy systems
    • Testing and Commissioning
    • Life Assessment
    • Value Assessment
    • Maintenance

Training Methodology

The program is delivered in a combination of lecture-style and computer-based training. In addition, a significant amount of time is set aside for small working group activity when addressing case study problems. Extensive use is made of case study material to underline the key aspects of the course and to give the delegates exposure to current best practice.

Who Should Attend?

Managers, leader Engineers, and Technicians who are responsible for the design installation, and testing of protection systems who are required to refresh their knowledge and skills.
