About this Virtual instructor Led Training (VILT)

Countries around the world are ramping up their solar photovoltaic (PV) production capacity to decarbonize their current power generation operations. Energy analyst share the view that over the next two decades a large PV penetration can provide sufficient sustainable power to significantly decarbonize the currrent global power generation landscape. This is a tall order, and power utility companies with regulators are racing to achieve a higher penetration of sustainable energy sourced from PV as among the most feasible solution.

Traditional PV power plants require extensive land areas, which represents a major constraint in many countries. If PV panels are installed on water bodies, this restriction may be avoided. This training course presents the main characteristics of Floating Solar Farms (FPVS). The course will focus on the architecture, controls and the specific features of floating structures from maintenance to financing.

The course discusses mainly projects from ASEAN countries and other jurisdictions including hybrid projects from Canada and the United States with installations on hydroelectric reservoirs. The flexibility of the invertor-based resources facilitates a higher penetration of floating or land PVs, Battery Electricity Storage Systems (BESS) and demand response.

This course will provide a good understanding of inverter-based PV generators that provide voltage support, frequency response and regulation (droop response), reactive power and power quality with a high level of accuracy and fast response. This course will also feature a Guest Speaker, Ph. D candidate to provide insights into the most modern aspects of Artificial Intelligence.

This VILT course will be delivered online in 4 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 breaks of 10 minutes per day. Course Duration: 16 hours in total
