Distributed generation (DG), from wind farms, solar power and domestic generation systems, is a growing factor in power network design and operation and can have considerable effects on electricity supply systems.
This course will guide you through the essentials of distributed generation and the impact it has on electricity networks both at low and high voltages. The course will give you detailed knowledge of engineering recommendations, technical requirements for connections (including G98 and G99), operation of networks and network design, as well as giving you an understanding of the commercial issues affecting connection agreements.
The course will consider both the current situation and future potential of distributed generation, using real life case studies, distributed generation modelling software and the latest research and development as reference.

Excellent course. I would love to hear about supplementary courses that are available with EA, to extend my knowledge.

Excellent presenters and clearly very knowledgeable. Would have liked to know more about how we connect sites to substations although that might be a different course. Overall, I learnt loads and really enjoyed it so big thank you.

Enjoyed the course with some great content. Would be interested in seeing G99 modelling software. The quiz is a great game to get everyone involved.
