Climate change and a resulting pressure to reduce carbon emissions challenge the energy sector to change existing energy systems. This calls for leaders with strong management skills, strategic vision and a deep understanding of the business and its socio-economic environment.

This new training course on the Regulation and Integration of Renewable Energy provides a comprehensive introduction to the topic with the latest updates, including developments in policy and regulation in the renewables industry and research.The objective of this course is to carefully examine the current and future role of renewable energy as a fundamental element of a sustainable, competitive, and secure power industry, as well as the regulatory mechanisms needed to integrate RES in a liberalised electricity system.

Doctoral Training Alliance Energy focuses on producing doctoral graduates equipped with the skills and experience to tackle the global challenge of ensuring future security and sustainability of energy supplies and energy demand management.

Learning how to use solar water heating systems, also known as solar thermal systems, can be a great way to harness renewable energy for water heating purposes. Here's an outline of what a course on solar water heating systems might cover: Introduction to Solar Water Heating: The course will start by introducing the concept of solar water heating and its benefits, such as reducing energy costs, decreasing carbon footprint, and utilizing renewable energy sources. Types of Solar Water Heating Systems: Active Solar Water Heating Systems: These systems use pumps to circulate water or heat-transfer fluid through solar collectors and into storage tanks. They are further divided into direct circulation systems (used in climates where freezing is rare) and indirect circulation systems (use heat-transfer fluids).

Heat pumps are often advertised as ‘free heat’ as for a small amount of energy in (electricity) they can emit more energy (as heat) out. Come and explore the science, develop a cost benefit analysis and quantify the emissions reductions of heat pumps, enabling you to decide if a heat pump is right for you. Heat pumps are indeed advertised as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to heat and cool homes. Let's delve into the science behind heat pumps, conduct a cost-benefit analysis, and quantify the emissions reductions they offer to help you make an informed decision.
