Mastering the integration of solar power plants with energy storage, plus other value-add solutions
 
Dispatchable & Flexible Solar Power
LIVE ONLINE COURSE
Dates: 26 October – 31 October 2022
 
A business-focused training course designed to provide business developers with an accessible and concise, yet comprehensive understanding of how advanced utility-scale solar power projects are providing greater value to the industry, its investors and energy system planners alike.
 
‘Dispatchable’ solar power projects are crucial to the scalability of solar within energy systems, increasing its ability to replace conventional thermal power capacity while maintaining power system flexibility and resilience. Compared to traditional solar-only projects, new considerations include the components required and the project design, development and integration processes involved. Understanding the market drivers and new revenue opportunities that such hybrid, multi-technology projects create are key to making the business case.
 
This course will lead attendees through the technologies, processes and financial return and risk considerations for those involved in dispatchable solar project development, with a particular focus on solar + storage. Explanations will be provided in clear, business-friendly language accessible to non-engineers. If you need a valuable, up-to-the-minute and independent introduction to these crucial trends in the future development of solar power projects, this online course provides a unique learning opportunity.

Live Online Course - How It Works
 
The structure of our virtual learning program is designed to keep the same levels of engagement and networking as our on-site public courses. Course content is delivered through our easy-to-use online learning platform and is supplemented by case studies and practical exercises.
 
Like our classroom-based public courses, you will have live interaction with our course facilitators and other participants. Our live online courses are led by our experienced instructors, who will provide you with easily digestible content, using knowledge learned from many years in the industry, during scheduled times. Delegates will receive copies of the course materials electronically.
 
This course is scheduled to take place over 4 live online sessions using virtual learning technology.
