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 beneï¬ts 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.

About this Training Course Materials Management is an essential link in the Supply Chain process. It takes an even bigger significance in the Upstream industry when the cost of a rupture in equipment or stock can be tremendous, without even considering the cost of the equipment itself. The downside may result in the accumulation of out-of-commission materials which leads to business inefficiency. What does it take to maintain efficient Materials Management? This 3 full-day course will explain more in detail. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives At the end of this course, participants will be able to: Understand the importance of an efficient Materials Management in the Supply Chain process Examine the control and validation of Stock processes Understand the role of the Duet and work within the Stock Duet in materials management Learn about the key factors in Stock optimisation Target Audience This course will benefit all personnel involved in Supply Chain including Stock Controllers, Cost Controllers, Buyers, Logisticians and those from the technical department such as Technical Administrators and members of the duet.
