Safe battery handling standards and regulations
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.

GSES – Vehicle to Grid
$45.00 Add to cartWith more people realising the potential of Electric Vehicles (EVs) as portable power stations, "vehicle-to-grid" is fast becoming one of the hottest topics of discussion within the industry. From sleek lines and silent engines, these batteries on wheels can be much more than luxury cars, they could be part of the solution for a 100% renewable energy grid.
The Vehicle-to-Grid sprint course is relevant for anyone wishing to develop their technical understanding of EVs. It provides a look into the current technologies in place, the vehicles that can facilitate vehicle-to-grid, and the future of vehicle-to-grid as the industry moves forward. It also discusses vehicle-to-grid charging and the opportunities this brings to consumers and the overall energy market.
