Handbook

Covers the preparation of energy assessments of households and properties, batteries, inverters, regulators, tracking systems and system design. This will include a thorough study of the Australian Standard: AS4509.2 Stand Alone Power Systems Part 2: System Design Guidelines, System Installation. This (and the following course) will include thorough study of the Australian Standard:AS4509.3 Stand Alone Power Systems Part 3: Installation and Maintenance, System Maintenance, OH&S issues relating to the installation of systems, and all relevant standards that relate to the installation of systems. The course will include a major practical laboratory component relating to the installation and testing of photovoltaic systems and assignment work based on related research. It is anticipated that this course will allow the students to obtain their Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BSCE) (formally SEIAA), provisional accreditation to design and install stand alone power systems. This is required for the installation of systems under the various AGO funded grants.
