Transcription

1 Outline of the seminar Grid Integration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) -, 12 th to 13 th December 2017 in Tehran Introduction The two-day seminar Grid Integration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) - will offer its participants the opportunity to acquire the knowledge they need to plan and operate transmission and distribution grids. Participants who met the objectives of this seminar will be able to name impacts of wind power and photovoltaic (VRE) on system planning and operation, to explain grid code requirements for photovoltaic and wind power considering voltage control and frequency control strategies and to explain grid code compliance procedures and performance tests for photovoltaic and wind power. This knowledge can be used to establish frameworks for the sustainable and beneficial integration of increasing volumes of renewable-generated electricity into the grid and be able to advise on the associated grid-related challenges. The specific objectives of this seminar are to improve the individual and organisational capacities of the participants. Content The seminar is split in several major blocks which will cover the following topics: Grid code requirement overview Voltage control in power systems, steady state Voltage control in transmission and distribution networks considering wind power and PV, dynamic behaviour Monitoring of system state during actual system operation redispatch and curtailment Frequency control for wind power and PV Grid code compliance procedures applied at different stages of a VRE project Grid study approaches Target group The two-day seminar targets engineers from the public and private sector working in the field of electricity. They may come from the following backgrounds: Transmission grid operators, Distribution grid operators Ministry of energy 17/10/2017 Page 1 of 6

2 Teaching methods The ability to learn is to be defined individually for every participant. Motivation plays the most important role. In order to make learning in a seminar enjoyable and sustainable, RENAC will use a range of teaching methods. The lecturers will choose the methods according to the learning target of each teaching unit. Teaching methods include: Lectures that include PowerPoint presentations, flip charts and white boards Lectures combining theoretical information and exercises that enable the participants to make the connections between the learned concepts and practical situations Group work and discussions during lessons that involve all the participants and give them an opportunity to interact in groups to use and apply the learned content of the course Language, handouts and online training Course materials will be provided in English Seminar participants will receive colour printed hard copies Lecturers will present in English ll be provided Seminar participants will get access to two online trainings: 15 hours online course on fundamentals of renewable energy and 30 hours online course grid integration of variable renewable energy Location The location for the seminar will be in Tehran. Details will be published. Duration and number of participants The seminar will last 2 days (12 th to 13 th December 2017, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., detailed schedule see below) The seminar is designed for up to 15 participants. Requirements for participants The seminar is designed for engineers. Basic knowledge of wind power and photovoltaic power technology is required. Participants should be willing to find solutions through group work, present results and discuss solutions Good English proficiency is an advantage but simultaneous translation will be provided. Seminar fees and application: The seminar is free of charge. Lunch and coffee/tea costs are covered by RENAC. 17/10/2017 Page 2 of 6

3 Interested persons have to register at RENAC s website via the link RENAC will choose the participants according to information that the interested persons provide (information about tasks at work, motivation to attend the training and how to use the knowledge gained). Applicants must, for example, demonstrate that they fall into one of the target groups. Successful applicants will receive a confirmation from RENAC. Confirmed participants should be willing to attend the entire seminar, participate in group work, present results and discuss solutions. Participation in a seminar is free of charge as long as registered participants attend the entire seminar. The scholarships will cover fees for seminars in Iran (including colour-printed course materials, lunch, coffee / tea for the duration of the seminar) and fees for internet-based trainings (including text and videos, animations, exercises, questions for self-testing, virtual classrooms, online forum for questions and answers, final exam and RENAC certificate). Cooperation The seminar is part of the project Enabling Climate Change Mitigation through Capacity Building Green Energy Center of Iran (GECI) financed by Germanys International Climate Initiative (IKI). The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) supports this initiative on the basis of a decision adopted by the German Bundestag. Since 2008, the IKI has been financing climate and biodiversity projects in developing and newly industrialising countries, as well as in countries in transition. Implementing partner is the Ministry of Energy of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Lecturers Dr. Karsten Burges Dr. Burges combines a PhD in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Magdeburg (Germany) with a Master s degree in Environmental Management from the University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Since joining the renewable energy consultant Ecofys in 1992, Dr. Burges has been focusing on integration of renewable energy sources and technologies in electrical power systems. His project portfolio covers photovoltaics (PV) in stand-alone and hybrid power systems distributed generation in low voltage distribution networks as well as integration of large scale PV and wind power in transmission networks and interconnected power systems at a European scale. In his work Dr. Burges supported network and system operators, component manufacturers, project developers, governments and public authorities. He presented his work at many international conferences and in a wide range of scientific papers. 17/10/2017 Page 3 of 6

4 Albrecht Tiedemann Mr. Albrecht Tiedemann (*1961) has been working for the Renewables Academy AG (RENAC) since He is head of the division Grid Integration of Renewables & Energy- and Climate Policy. Albrecht Tiedemann manages capacity building programs on Renewable Energy and Grid Integration for professionals working in the public and private energy sector. He is responsible for blended e-learning seminars and works as a trainer for wind energy (resource assessment, technology, hybrid wind/pv micro grids and wind farm economics) as well as for grid integration of renewables (balancing power and capacity credit calculation, short term power forecast for wind and PV). From 2003 to 2009 he was Project Director at the German Energy Agency (dena) GmbH and there he worked as a consultant for the German Federal Ministry of Economics & Technology, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the European Commission and enterprises in the energy sector. Mr. Tiedemann has been executively involved in the integration of renewable energies into the German energy supply system and in conducting strategic analysis for the German energy sector. From 1989 to 2003 he worked as scientific assistant for the Federal Environmental Agency of Germany where he was responsible for offshore wind energy and the developing environmentally friendly technologies. Albrecht Tiedemann holds a degree as Engineer of Environmental Protection Technology from the Technical University Berlin (1989).
