The NCSP® 800-171 Specialist accredited (APMG International), certified (NCSC/GCHQ-UK), and recognized (DHS-CISA-USA) certification course teaches Digital Business, Operational Stakeholders, Auditors, and Risk Practitioners a Fast-Track approach to adopting and adapting the 800-171 controls in the context of a NIST Cybersecurity Framework program. This course looks at the impact of adapting a principled approach to the enterprise risk management (ERM) framework to better support cybersecurity decisions, establishing the context for the selected informative reference (IR). It guides participants on the best approach to adapting, implementing, and operating (AIO) a comprehensive cybersecurity program that can be integrated into the existing organizational capabilities and incorporates the selected IR. NCSP® 800-171 Specialist introduces the integration of typical enterprise capabilities with cybersecurity from the selected cybersecurity IR perspective. The overall approach places these activities into a systems-thinking context by introducing the service value management system (SVMS), including governance, assurance, and the Z-X model. With this in place, the course presents the approach to adapt, implement, operate, and improve the organizational cybersecurity posture that builds on the application of the FastTrack™ concept presented in the NCSP Practitioner course. The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP®) program is the industry's first accredited certification training program that teaches organizations how to build a Digital Value Management Overlay System capable of leveraging the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to deliver the secure, digital business outcomes expected by executives, government regulators, and legal advisors.

About this Course Batteries are going to play an increasingly important role in the energy grid. An increasing number of developers are looking to add battery storage systems (BESS) into their existing projects. However future cash flows are highly uncertain and they are often unsure exactly how battery technology can be monetised. A strong revenue model requires stacking of different revenue sources. As the share of variable renewable sources in electricity systems further increase, battery systems are expected to play a growing role by providing frequency control and operational reserves as well as for wholesale arbitrage, while helping reduce grid integration costs. The more volatile electricity prices are, the greater the earning potential of batteries trading electricity on various electricity markets. BESS can generate revenue streams in several different ways; through a frequency response contract with the TSO, by providing grid services in other ways or by arbitrage through buying cheap power and selling power for a higher price in a liquid wholesale market. Because batteries are efficient, the round trip efficiency is also high. They can spread arbitrage trading much better than other storage types and in many cases, other asset classes. For companies that combine a battery with other tasks, for example to store power from their own panels, or to avoid a costly heavy power connection, the investment is less risky than for those that purely focus on arbitrage trading. It is uncertain whether electricity prices will fluctuate more violently in the coming years, or whether the peaks will actually level off. During this highly interactive training, the trainer will provide you with the latest insights and best practices on how to obtain the maximum economic benefits when participating with BESS in the electricity market. Training Objectives By the end of this course, the participants will be able to: Discover the different BESS battery technologies and their impact on the grid Understand the role of storage in providing flexibility to the power system Examine the potential revenue streams from BESS models Learn how profit can generated with BESS trading strategies Determine how to optimize the value from BESS projects Find out how to combine BESS with renewable PPAs Target Audience Professionals and executives from Power Utilities, Energy Companies, Financial & Investment Banks, Renewable Power Project Developers, Transmission System Operators and Energy Industry Regulators will find this training course useful.
