Course Overview

Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on renewable economics and smart grids both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in smart grids — it punishes it. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline is rarely technical. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about renewable economics and smart grids under scrutiny. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations and to those who are held accountable for its results. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of smart grids is examined, not just described. The programme converts renewable economics and smart grids from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Improvement in smart grids stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations will be evidenced six months later.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Specify the instrumentation and data needed to monitor renewable economics and smart grids reliably.

02

Apply a repeatable review cycle to smart grids and act on what it produces.

03

Define the escalation path for abnormal conditions detected in renewable economics and smart grids.

04

Build the competence and certification matrix for staff working on smart grids.

05

Set the minimum documentation for renewable economics and smart grids that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.

06

Assess the technical and commercial risk attaching to smart grids across the asset life cycle.

07

Build the internal capability for renewable economics and smart grids rather than depending on external support indefinitely.
