This Level 3 Battery Storage training course covers the installation of dedicated EESS in accordance with the IET code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems. It provides detailed theoretical and practical knowledge enabling candidates to apply the relevant regulations and guidance and safely work on battery storage systems.
During the course, you will receive practical training, including work on:
You will also cover theory relating to health & safety, industry regulations and best-practice.
At the end of the course, candidates will undertake a practical, observed assignment and an online/theory component.
On completion of this course, you will receive an LCL Awards Level 3 Certificate, which is recognised by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
Candidates will require an up-to-date copy of the IET Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems, which can be provided at the time of booking or purchased by calling our office following your booking.
In addition to the above, candidates will need to bring the following books:
All other course materials will be provided.
This qualification is aimed at practising electricians, electrical technicians, and engineers with experience of electrical installations and associated inspection and testing.
Applicants should be working in the electrical industry and should hold as a minimum:
A level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS7671
A level 3 award in the Initial Verification and Certification of Electrical Installations or a combined award including Periodic Inspection & Testing.
The course consists of 2 days in-centre training.
Successful candidates will receive their LCL Awards certificate approximately four to six weeks following completion of the course.
You will learn how to size and safely install EESS to meet customers’ needs and help them to make savings on their energy bills.
By the end of the course, you will:
Research and development in recent years means that battery technology has greatly improved leading to wider use in residential settings. When combined with domestic microgeneration, such as solar photovoltaics (pv), electrical energy storage systems (EESS) enable customers to store the energy they generate, making use of off-peak rates and smart tariffs to save on electricity bills and reduce reliance on fluctuating grid prices.
Battery storage systems work by storing excess electricity generated from sources like solar panels or the grid. Battery storage systems allow end users to consume more of the power they generate from renewable sources, and/or store energy when it is cheapest, further enhancing energy bill reductions.
When needed, the stored energy can be discharged to power homes, businesses, or other electrical loads.
The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) Code of Practice for Electrical Energy Storage Systems provides guidelines and recommendations for the design, installation, and operation of energy storage systems, including battery storage.This code of practice helps ensure the safe and efficient deployment of EESS, covering aspects like safety, maintenance, and compliance with regulations. It is a valuable resource for professionals involved in energy storage projects.
The lifespan of solar storage batteries varies depending on factors like battery chemistry, usage patterns and maintenance. Common battery types used in solar storage, such as lithium-ion, typically last between 10 to 20 years. Regular maintenance and proper charging/discharging practices can extend a battery's lifespan.
This solar PV training course is aimed at experienced domestic and commercial electrical operatives who want to add to their services.
