Course Overview

The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in utility-scale photovoltaic design; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations both accrue interest. The version of this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what utility-scale photovoltaic design has actually achieved. Applied research in energy and hydrocarbon operations consistently shows that early structure around the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability reduces downstream rework. Participants test their assumptions about this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations against scenarios designed to break weak ones. It is designed for mixed groups, so that utility-scale photovoltaic design is examined from more than one functional angle. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations, not around theory headings. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that participants can repeat annually.
