Course Objectives

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design battery storage systems.

This unit applies to a person with a sound knowledge of the components and different system configurations of battery storage systems for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems and suitable energy management strategies that can be applied to the site where a system can be installed.

A person competent in this unit will be able to design a system, which includes calculating and selecting the correct sized equipment, so the system output performance meets the client specific objectives, within the guidelines of relevant industry standards, regulations and manufacturer requirements.

The unit involves designing a system taking into consideration all necessary work health and safety requirements relevant for the selected system and documenting the design including all calculations, equipment specifications and layouts.

This unit is appropriate for Licenced Electricians or Electrical Engineers with responsibility for designing grid-connected battery storage systems.

Licensing, legislative or certification requirements that apply to this unit may differ between jurisdictions and system types. They should be checked prior to commencing this unit.
