Why Choose Us

The Smart Grid for Non-Engineers training course explains how intelligent, automated grid systems monitor electricity flows and improve distribution efficiency. Consumers increasingly expect electricity grids to be safe, secure and reliable, while system digitalisation is driving demand for smart grids. These systems support more efficient electricity distribution through automated monitoring and control. They also offer cost-effective ways to reduce power consumption and increase energy independence while addressing environmental concerns.

Smart grids incorporate the production and use of renewable energy. Consumers can generate electricity for personal use and sell surplus electrical energy to local utility supply companies through smart meters installed on their premises. Demand response capacity helps balance electricity consumption with available supply. Smart grids can also integrate technologies supporting energy storage devices and the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles.

This Smart Grid for Non-Engineers training course will highlight:

  • Understanding the conventional power grid system
  • Examining the smart grid blueprint and characteristics
  • Identifying different types of renewable energy
  • Exploring wind turbine technology
  • Understanding photovoltaic cells
