Grid Integration of Renewables using PSCAD - Case Studies

Issued by UNSW

Delivered in partnership with Aurecon, this course combines several timely topics in power engineering, and the grid integration of renewable energy resources. The course primarily focuses on power electronic converters, their control, case studies from Network Service Providers (NSPs) and PSCAD-related National Electricity Rules (NER) clauses in generator performance standards (GPS) that are found within the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) Connection Application Checklist.
