Course Description
When centralised generation and transmission become targets, resilience moves to the object level. Modular boiler houses, cogeneration units, generators and storage are no longer efficiency measures — they are the difference between a functioning hospital or pumping station and a dark one.
This programme addresses distributed generation and backup power for critical infrastructure objects. Participants learn the distributed generation options and their trade-offs, modular boiler houses, cogeneration, backup generators and fuel logistics, energy storage, sizing for critical loads, grid interface and islanding, and the planning by which a utility or municipality decides which objects are made autonomous first.
What you will achieve
By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:
- Compare distributed generation options and their trade-offs
- Understand modular boiler houses and their deployment
- Apply cogeneration to municipal and industrial loads
- Specify and manage backup generators and fuel logistics
- Understand energy storage applications
- Size generation and backup for critical loads
- Address grid interface, islanding and synchronisation
- Prioritise which objects are made autonomous
How the course is delivered
The programme combines distributed generation technology with practical sizing and prioritisation exercises for critical infrastructure. Participants work through load analysis, technology selection and autonomy planning using realistic municipal scenarios.
The programme is oriented to resilience rather than economics alone, reflecting conditions where continuity of service is the governing requirement.
