COURSE OVERVIEW:

The transition toward renewable energy requires a deep technical understanding of the hardware and control systems that harness natural resources. This course provides a technical exploration of "Photovoltaic" (PV) and "Wind Turbine" (WT) technologies, focusing on the conversion of DC and mechanical energy into grid-compliant AC power. Participants will explore the mechanics of "Energy Harvesting," learning how to optimize system yields through advanced tracking, aerodynamic control, and efficient power electronics.

The scope of this training addresses the integration of distributed generation into existing electrical networks, focusing on the challenges of "Intermittency" and "Grid Stability." It covers the technical nuances of "Inverter Technology," focusing on Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and synchronization protocols. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on "Hybrid Systems," ensuring that participants can design and maintain integrated plants that combine solar, wind, and battery storage to provide a reliable and continuous power supply.

Coverage includes the implementation of rigorous maintenance regimes for both "Solar Arrays" and "Wind Nacelles." Attendees will learn to utilize "Thermographic Imaging" for PV fault detection, analyze "Vibration Signatures" in wind turbine gearboxes, and perform "Performance Ratio" (PR) calculations to monitor system health. By combining renewable theory with practical field maintenance, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to manage green energy assets that meet international performance and safety standards.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the "Physics of Photovoltaics" and Wind Energy conversion.
• Identify the components of "On-Grid," "Off-Grid," and "Hybrid" systems.
• Execute "Sizing Calculations" for PV arrays and Wind Turbine clusters.
• Configure "String Inverters" and "Central Inverters" for optimal yield.
• Implement "MPPT" (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithms.
• Explain the "Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines" and Pitch/Yaw control.
• Conduct "Performance Ratio" (PR) and "Capacity Factor" analysis.
• Utilize "Infrared Thermography" to detect "Hotspots" in PV modules.
• Troubleshoot "VFD" and "Generator" faults in Wind Turbines.
• Manage "Battery Energy Storage" (BESS) integration and cycling.
• Perform "Grid Connection" studies: Harmonics, Flicker, and Voltage.
• Document "Maintenance Logs" and "Environmental Impact" reports.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Renewable Energy Engineers, Sustainability Consultants, Electrical Technicians, and Power Plant Operations Staff.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
