Course Description:
This training will be covered over the course of 2 days. Both days will consist of 4 hours of learning time.
The phrase “reliable, affordable, clean energy” reminds me of an engineering axiom that went like this: fast, cheap, and good; pick two. A two-legged stool doesn’t work. We must balance and optimize reliability, affordability, and clean in our voyage to decarbonizing our energy supplies and consumption.
This course explores electricity sources and their carbon content, transmission, electrification, thermal and electric energy storage, combined heat and power, efficiency, and demand management. We will discuss critical risk and energy security issues that will be exposed on our way to a low/no-carbon economy.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Research and identify supply and demand side decarbonization opportunities.
- Describe carbon sources and their emission intensities.
- Explain the complexities of technical and policy issues of decarbonization.
- Demonstrate how to balance the three legs of clean, reliable, and affordable decarbonization.
*Attendees must earn an 70% or higher on the final course test in order to earn 0.8 CEUs.
Cancellations received no later than 14 days prior to the training date will receive a refund, minus a 5% processing fee if paid with a credit card.
