Understanding the role of renewable energy in the power supply portfolio is critical when developing a reliable and feasible power system, which meets Renewable Portfolio Standards and reduces the utility's carbon footprint. Power system engineers need an appreciation of the planning and operational impacts of integrating renewable generation into the transmission system and an understanding of renewable energy policies to sustain and grow this largely unharnessed energy source.

The primary objective of this course is to provide an overview of the technical challenges and benefits of integrating large amounts of renewable generation (wind and solar) and energy storage into the transmission system, along with the power system studies that need to be conducted.

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a deep understanding of the latest renewable generation and energy storage technologies, their capabilities and limitations and methods to assess their impacts on the transmission system.
