As energy storage becomes essential for grid stability, renewable integration, and efficient power distribution, this course equips engineers and technical professionals with the knowledge to navigate emerging storage technologies.
The Professional Certificate of Competency of Energy Storage provides a comprehensive overview of storage technologies and their role in modern power systems. Students will explore mechanical, electrochemical, and advanced electrical storage methods, including pumped hydro, compressed air, lithium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors.
The course also covers battery integration, performance, safety, and grid-scale applications.
By the end, students will understand energy storage fundamentals, emerging innovations, and practical implementation in real-world systems.
Upon completion, students should be able to:
- Understand the basic chemistry of batteries
- Identify the advantage and disadvantages of using alternative battery types
- Understand the figure of merits, energy, and power density limits of each electrical energy storage component type
- Examine battery testing standards, battery charging systems and state of charge measurement techniques
- Learn about hybrid systems using batteries
- Understand safety and second-life use of batteries
- Learn about a variety of applications such as automotive and grid-energy storage systems
