Fundamentals of Energy

The energy industry is undergoing a revolution, and new grid models are emerging with distributed energy resources (DERs) combined with renewable energy systems leading the way. As corporations and the public sector move towards Zero Carbon, distributed generation (DG), from wind farms to solar power to fuel cells, continue to play a growing role in energy system design and operation. These technologies present both daunting challenges and valuable opportunities in rethinking the economics and management of energy systems. Digitalisation and Industry 4.0 are transforming how the energy business is run. As more non-controllable or intermittent energy sources through renewable energy systems is introduced, several smart technologies are being developed to ensure reliability, while increasing the penetration of renewable and sustainable energy sources. There is growing pressure on businesses, governments, and even consumers, to keep up with these rapid changes.

This course will guide you through the essentials of energy resource management and will give you detailed knowledge of technical and commercial considerations when designing energy systems and business models. This is a fully practical masterclass on the energy and renewable energy Business, and it is well balanced for those in the technical field and those in the business world.

The course will cover both the past, the current situation and the future potential and scenarios of energy generation while using real-life case studies, energy generation modelling and current research and development as reference. You will get a comprehensive overview of the energy landscape, use cases, potential grid services, market players, business models, and energy strategy tools and frameworks. We will discuss how to incorporate these into your strategic planning. We will discuss new technologies, new types of customers, changing customer expectations, new market participants, and evolving business models. We will also look at current and future trends in digitalisation and how advancement in the Internet of Things (IoT) can drive zero-carbon opportunities. Get insights on dealing with the challenges of lost revenue and increased costs and complexities while taking advantage of opportunities to diversify your business, upgrade your systems and operations, and respond to your customers and communities.

This industry can get pretty complicated, and this course will help you make more sense of it. Now is a good time to learn this course.
