New home battery technologies

Master the technologies reshaping how Australians store, share, and benefit from clean energy at home.

About the training

The New Home Battery Technologies course covers new developments in energy storage solutions for residents. As we dive into the different types of home batteries available to the public, we also discuss how they can benefit from dynamic energy pricing and explore how emerging technologies like Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) are redefining the relationship between residents and the grid.

What you'll learn

Here is a quick snapshot of the practical takeaways this course covers:

Explain what a home battery is and the different types of batteries available to homeowners

Describe the interactions of home batteries with both solar panels and the energy grid

Identify the different types of energy rates and explain how batteries can be used to reduce home energy consumption costs

Explain what a Virtual Power Plant is and describe how they can be used as a decentralised energy system for communities

Identify the role of EVs as a home battery and its role in V2X technologies
