The African Center of Excellence in energy for sustainable development (ACE-ESD) is one of 24 Eastern and Southern Africa Higher Education Centres of Excellence in the World Bank’s ACE 2 Project. The main objective of ACEESD is to create a world-class energy centre that will be a regional hub for research and training of African engineers. policy makers and energy utility managers (in micro-grid energy systems using renewable energy sources and interstate energy trading, management and policy); contribute to rural development through technology transfer; and nurture and promote entrepreneurship development in the energy sector towards sustainable development.
Training outlines
ACE-ESD is organizing a 5 days of training in “Power Engineering /Microgrid /Smartgrid by focusing on the following topics: small wind turbines (off-grid system), high voltage direct current technology (HVDC), wind power plant with DFIG, hydropower with pumping and classical power generation, power transmission and protection technology ,industrial photovoltaic system, Microgrid power system with synchronization, Smartgrid SCADA monitoring and remote control, smart grid distribution and double bus bars FRT (fault ride through, dynamic grid fault simulation).” The trainer will use smartgrid laboratory of the
ACEESD to carry out different experiments and teaching theory, which are frequently used in microgrids and smartgids.
The training targets experts in Public. Private, Academic institutions and researchers who wish to understand deeply on how to design, operate, validate and implementation of microgrid and smartgrid system.
