Description

Are you looking forward to starting or developing your career in the renewable energy sector?Due to the global energy transition, caused by environmental challenges and the depletion of fossil fuels, the renewable energy sector is in high demand of professional engineers. The aim of this course is to help engineers develop their engineering skills in the design of renewable energy systems with the most commonly used Software tools.This is a great opportunity to be a part of the energy transition and to join the path towards a greener and more sustainable future.pvDesign Software is used for the preparation of concept designs of Utility-scale ground-mounted Solar PV Systems, especially for prospecting or early-stage development purposes. Therefore this is an excellent course for beginners, and from here you may easily jump to more advanced tools like PVcase or PVsyst.In this course, I will explain the process in detail to prepare a preliminary design of a ground-mounted solar PV system using the PVDesign Software.What you will learn in this course:How to use pvDesign Software (we will explore the software interface)Required parameters for preparing the design with pvDesign (course materials provided)Create a solar PV site with Google Earth and within pvDesign Software for the design of the solar PV systemProject Sample 1 (based on real project): Create the Utility-scale Solar PV System Design - Fixed TiltProject Sample 2 (based on real project): Create the Utility-scale Solar PV System Design - Tracker (single axis)How to optimize the solar PV designpvDesign Outputs: reports, BOQs, drawings, etc…This is a very hands-on and practical course, that will give you the opportunity to learn how to prepare a an early-stage design or concept design of a utility-scale solar PV system from scratch.Of course, as this is not a theoretical course but a practical one, a basic knowledge of solar PV systems components is necessary.I am very happy to share this course with you and support you all the way through.See you in the Course!
