Course Overview

A microgrid is an electricity distribution system that is locally operated in a regulated way and includes electricity users and electricity producers (renewable electricity generation). More often than not, photovoltaic systems are integrated into microgrids. To learn more about this integration process, take the Solar Energy: Integration of Photovoltaic Systems in Microgrids certification course.

The Solar Energy certification syllabus covers topics like AC microgrids, DC microgrids, smart grids, virtual power plants, distribution networks, control strategies, markets, components, power electronics interfaces, etc. All this material is available free of cost for all learners for a limited period of time. However, verified learners get access to more advanced content, practical exercises, simulation assignments, and peer reviews.

To learn about photovoltaic energy conversion systems and technologies, and all other aspects of photovoltaics (relevant from a physics and engineering standpoint), take the Solar Energy Engineering MicroMasters program. The Delft University of Technology offers both the Solar Energy: Integration of Photovoltaic Systems in Microgrids online course and the MicroMasters program.

Eligibility Criteria

A Science/Engineering bachelor’s degree is a prerequisite for joining the Solar Energy: Integration of Photovoltaic Systems in Microgrids program. Alternatively, you could complete the PV2x, PV1x, and PV3x programs, or otherwise study the three courses’ content, to the point where you have a firm grasp.

What you will learn

Knowledge of electronics

Learners will have a detailed comprehension of the following after completing the Solar Energy training:

  • Centralized and decentralized control
  • Topologies and layouts for microgrids 
  • Voltage regulation and active power control
  • Microgrid protection and adaptive protection
  • Microgrids and the ancillary services they provide
  • Forecasting and evaluating different market policies 
  • Power electronics converters and their role in microgrids
  • Advantages and disadvantages of implementing DC microgrids
  • Fault current limitation and consequences of using a fault current source
  • Differences between a virtual power plant, a microgrid, and a passive distribution grid

Admission Details

Step 1: To learn more about the Solar Energy: Integration of Photovoltaic Systems in Microgrids course, and to apply, go to the official edX website or click on this link: https://www.edx.org/learn/solar-energy/delft-university-of-technology-solar-energy-integration-of-photovoltaic-systems-in-microgrids

Step 2: To proceed to the registration page, click on the ‘Enrol’ button.

Step 3: If you are applying to a course on edX for the first time, you will have to enter your details and create an account. Another way is to use your existing Apple/Facebook/Microsoft/Google account to register. If you already have a registered account on edX, click on ‘Sign in’.

Step 4: Further instructions will appear on your screen. Keep following them till you get a message that confirms your enrolment with edX.

Application Details

Instead of filling out a full-length application form for the Solar Energy course, you only need to enter your basic information and create an account on edX. An even easier option is to register directly using your existing account on any of the following: Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google.
