Microgrid Training

MicroGrid Training for Property Owners, Property Developers, and Facility Managers - getting you up to speed

It's difficult to understand the bewildering and fast-moving field of local energy systems ( often called MicroGrids ).  And that's not surprising at all!   The field itself is being invented right in front of our eyes.

One example is the advent of the Electric Vehicle (EV). Buildings are the natural homes of the EV, but how to plan for vehicle-2-building-2-grid charging ( V2B2G / V2G ) ? - and how to understand the many business models ?

To get everyone on the same page, we recommend your Team spend some time with us learning the terminology and the relevant fundamentals.

We offer further online training that goes into the detail needed to fully comprehend what will require a significant budget, and a profitable investment in, say a 20-year Energy Master Plan.

Courses

Profitable Energy Systems for Buildings - An Intro.  How to identify, plan for, and manage a local energy system on/in your buildings, campus, or property.

  • 12 X 1-hour online sessions
  • Small classes, plenty of discussions, with multiple course leaders
  • Private 15-minute online sessions as and if needed ( ad hoc )

MicroGrids for Facilities / Property Managers.  Structured Team Training - aimed at getting a diverse team on the same page. Focused on identifying, planning for, and managing a local energy system on/in your buildings, campus, or property.  Multi-week training. First 1 day session in person if preferred, the rest online in small palatable 1 - 2 hours segments ( you are busy people - so no one can justify a full week away from work ?  If you are going to take a full week, it had better be a proper vacation, right ? ☺️ )

For further information, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Content

Define the Benefits: Best to start by defining the benefits of microgrids, including improved energy efficiency, cost savings, and increased resilience and reliability.
Explore energy savings: How to conduct an energy audit of the facility and demonstrate how a microgrid can help reduce energy consumption and costs. Use data from the audit to show how the microgrid can optimise the use of renewable energy sources and reduce reliance on expensive fossil fuels.
Identify specific advantages: You are helped to identify specific advantages relevant to your facility, such as reduced energy costs, reduced downtime during power outages, and improved environmental sustainability.
Highlight resilience benefits: Emphasise the resilience benefits of microgrids, especially for critical facilities such as hospitals, data centres, and military installations. Highlight the ability of microgrids to operate independently during power outages or emergencies, and the potential to provide backup power to surrounding communities.
Provide cost analysis: Most important. Once you know what you need, we help you conduct a cost analysis of implementing a microgrid at your facility to demonstrate the long-term financial benefits, including potential energy cost savings and reduced operational costs.
Provide case studies and examples: We share case studies and examples of other facilities that have implemented microgrids successfully. This can help you understand how microgrids can be tailored to their specific needs and objectives.
Demonstrate value: Again, you get to see how to emphasise to your Board the value and importance that microgrids can bring, such as improved energy security, reduced risk of power outages, and increased sustainability.
Share industry reports: We share industry reports and whitepapers highlighting the benefits and potential return on investment of microgrids. Both can help you better understand the technology and its advantages.
