About
After participating in the course, you will be able to:
-
Apply basic principles of solar cell operation and comply with electrical authority and system operator
-
Perform AC and DC system losses, fault analysis at combiner boxes and assess solar farm site
-
Complete design layout and orientation, financial evaluations and operation of utility scale inverters
-
Transform to AC and connection medium voltage (MV) distribution system
-
Understand safe design (AC arc flash analysis, labeling and interlocking)
The last renewable energy resource to be developed in Canada, solar PV systems are unfamiliar to many engineers involved in power generation. The course deals with solar site assessment, installation consideration, financial evaluation of design, DC and AC losses, utility scale inverters, PV system commissioning and authorities technical requirements.
The course focuses on ground-mounted, grid-connected, medium and large utility scale solar farms connected to medium-voltage hydro circuits. Participants will also learn about overall solar farm configuration including DC and AC design and conceptual design of MV substation and AC collector circuits.

Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees' work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants' attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o'clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
- Providing a lunch buffet during the training program period, with organizing a lunch party on the training program final day for taking some photos and certificate awarding.
