Technical Training Solutions - Providing practical engineering skills training for industry

INSTALLATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS

COURSE 460: 3 DAYS

This course is aimed at plumbers and electricians who wish to install, commission, fault-find and /or maintain renewable energy systems being promoted by the UK Government. Candidates will gain hands-on experience of connecting solar, thermal and wind generation systems in commercial and domestic dwellings through the use of generation and load systems.

PARTICIPANTS

Prospective candidates should be a practicing engineers and should have a working knowledge the IEE Wiring Regulations. See our City & Guilds 2381 qualification, course 310.

COURSE PRESENTATION

The emphasis is very much on 'learning by doing' and the development of useful, practical skills - with particular stress being placed upon safety. Comprehensive course notes are provided.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

One of the practical exercises that candidates perform on the renewable energy course: Making electrical connections to pv arrays for maximum effectiveness

On successful completion of the course, candidates will be able to install and commission the following renewable energy systems:

Candidates will understand the following systems:

Candidates will be able to:

Successful completion of the course leads to the award of the Amicus / Technical Training Solutions competence Certificate 460: Installation of Renewable Energy Systems.

What do candidates on the renewable energy course actually do?

Candidates on the renewable energy training course learn about the practicalities of the various renewable technologies; the estimated cost and payback times for the various technologies, the advantages and disadvantages of each type bearing in mind the geographical location, etc. Candidates are provided with comprehensive course notes.

Candidates on the renewable energy course are given the opportunity to install and commission the renewable systems that have gained the most credence recently: solar panels and pv arrays. We have a specially-constructed roof so that candidates can experience the practicalities of installing the technologies (bearing in mind the various building regulation requirements) and can use this opportunity to consider how best to install each of the technologies. Candidates also connect the panels to controllers and load systems, considering the necessities for earthing, referencing to the neutral etc. In this way we are able to simulate a complete installation: from roof-mounted device to control circuits; to load connections in consumer units; to actual electrical circuits.
