Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) Innovation Centre has launched registration for the second edition of its ‘Integrated Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System Designer’ training.
The programme is focused on developing technical expertise in solar PV systems and plants, covering design methods, installation, testing, maintenance, and evaluating solar PV projects.
The initiative is part of DEWA’s strategy to empower youth and provide them with the necessary information, skills, tools, and technologies to become active partners in the transition to sustainable energy.
The training will take place from May 15 to 19 at the Innovation Centre in the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
The course is being organised in collaboration with TUV Rheinland Academy.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the MD and CEO of DEWA, emphasised the centre’s objective of developing skills and building the capacities of the next generation of innovators in clean energy technologies, focusing on refining the talents of young Emiratis.
"DEWA aims to provide a unique learning environment by hosting events, conferences, seminars, and workshops, building partnerships with local and international universities and startups to cooperate in the areas of innovation and exchange of knowledge and experiences, in addition to raising awareness about clean and renewable energy and sustainability," said Al Tayer.
Mr. Fares Naouri, CEO of TÜV Rheinland, said, "The objective of our initiative is to encourage professionals to participate and get qualified as ‘Integrated Solar PV Designers.' After successfully completing the first batch, we are glad to work with DEWA again to launch the second session in May."
Training To Include Tests, Design Methods, Maintenance
The first round of the training attracted 20 trainees, and those who completed the training and passed the final test obtained professional certificates in the design and installation of solar energy systems.
The training aims to expand the trainees’ knowledge of photovoltaic (PV) system principles, Standard IEC 60364-7-712: Electrical installations and protection against electric shock, and Standard IEC 62446: Photovoltaic (PV) systems: requirements for testing, documentation, and maintenance.
The programme also covers PV plant design principles, the economic evaluation of PV design, the basic ability to design and configure PV components for low-voltage on-grid and off-grid systems, and calculating PV system sizing for on-grid and off-grid.
The programme is being conducted in collaboration with TUV Rheinland Academy and is aimed at empowering youth and developing the capacities of the next generation of innovators in clean energy technologies.
The training offers an opportunity to learn about PV system principles, design methods, installation, testing, and maintenance, among other things, and is open for registration through the provided link
