Energy Storage training course (online)

With the grid-connected energy storage market maturing and commercial projects starting up, companies in different sectors are increasingly interested in the potential of energy storage for their business. But insight into technical, market and financial aspects is essential to realizing that potential. 

As part of our educational offering that also includes workshops and interactive sessions, DNV offers a training that helps you increase your overall understanding of grid-connected energy storage systems.

This course on energy storage essentials is intended for professionals wishing to acquire a comprehensive overview of grid-connected energy storage and energy storage systems, and to have the latest technology, market conditions and issues clearly explained. Energy markets in relation to energy storage, the role of storage in providing flexibility to solve intermittency issues in the grid, business models, performance indicators, warranties, safety, risks and risk mitigation are covered.

During this course, DNV will focus mainly on Europe and will share some European and some local examples.
