About This Course
This course equips professionals in the electrical or renewable energy fields with the knowledge required to design, commission, and fault-find grid-connected battery storage systems. The blended learning approach includes online theory, a three-day face-to-face workshop, and a post-course assignment. Key topics include battery chemistries and their characteristics, battery charging, inverter architectures, system design, relevant standards and regulations, and optimisation strategies. Emphasis is on safety, best practices, site and client assessment, and compliance with New Zealand regulations and lines company requirements.
