    Energy Storage I: Storage Technologies and their Role in the Energy Transition

    One of the biggest problems facing any energy system is that of managing the energy produced according to the load demand. It is possible in different energy systems to observe seasonal variations in energy demands, fluctuations in energy production and differences between the amount of energy produced and demand. As the need to address these challenges is increasing, the seminar is designed to provide the necessary knowledge to understand the available storage technologies as well as the usefulness of applying these energy storage systems in different sectors. Storing energy so that it can be used later, when and where it is most needed, is key to increased renewable energy production, energy efficiency and energy security.

    Possible candidates: If you are a mechanical engineer, electrical engineer, environmental engineer, energy and climate expert, sustainable mobility expert, chemical engineer, technician, researcher, or any other professional keen on gaining knowledge on the topic of Energy Storage, this training is suitable for you.

    By attending this training you can  benefit:

    • At knowledge level: describe the basic principles governing energy storage methods and classify the various storage systems.
    • At skill level: choose appropriate applications of energy storage systems in their organization.
    • At attitude level: participate in energy storage decision-making in your organization and challenge misconceptions about energy storage.

    The seminar is subsidised by Human Resource Development Authority of Cyprus (HRDA).
