Foundations of Microgrid Design and Optimisation

Issued by Charles Darwin University

This badge is to recognise that the student has attended the 3-day course on Microgrid Design and Optimisation. Through problem-based learning, the student demonstrated the capability to design hybrid microgrids and optimise the design using Homer Pro and Homer Grid software packages. Successfully developed a microgrid model using Homer Pro and optimised the design.

Earning Criteria

  • This course covers concepts in microgrid design and optimisation using the modelling software Homer Pro and Homer Grid. Students will learn fundamental aspects of the design of components of a power station that includes hybrid energy generation and energy storage hybrid microgrids as well as economic aspects for estimating costs and returns from the designed microgrid. Distinct features of Homer Pro and Homer Grid software to optimise the microgrid design will be taught.
