About this Training Course The two elements which consistently remain in the forefront of every executive, tasked to manage a project, are 'Cost' and 'Time'. There is probably no disagreement or a need to prove that a strong correlation exists between Cost and Schedule. The mechanics of capturing cost during the execution is not that difficult a task, as it is when undertaking Design, Engineering, Estimating, Planning, Scheduling, and seeking financing for the project. The corporate management is expected to provide realistic, reliable and risks adjusted projections of a project's overall financial performance. This 3 full-day course and workshop is developed to make the delegates walk through the engineering formulas and equations to become a professional in managing estimates, projections, risks, uncertainties and secure financing for high value, high risk projects, from both On-shore and Offshore Oil & Gas industry segments. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives Objectives of this Training Course: This course and the workshops are developed for the participants to gain comprehensive understanding of the field of Cost Engineering and its impact on the project execution, financing and risk management. The underlying objectives are: Enhance familiarization with mechanics of cost engineering in developing budgets and Project Cost Models. Gain understanding of diversity in financing of EPC Projects in context of Offshore and Onshore Oil & Gas projects in international arena.

About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)  Electrification of the transportation sector will impact the power system in several ways. Besides the additional load, local impact on the grid needs to be managed by the grid operators. Simultaneously charging of many electric vehicles (EVs) might exceed the limits in specific locations. On the other hand, EVs can provide flexibility and other ancillary services that will help grid operators. This 3 half-day VILT course will provide a complete overview of integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into the power grid. It will cover the whole value chain from grid operations to the car battery. This includes the control room, possible grid reinforcement, demand side management and power electronics. This course will demonstrate the impact on the grid and solutions for a safe & cost-effective grid plan and operation, with examples of successful integration of EVs. The course will also provide vital knowledge about technology used for EVs such as power electronics, demand side management, communication and batteries. In this context, the focus will be on power electronics as it has the highest impact on the grid. The grid planning tool, pandapower, is introduced as an open source tool for power system modelling. The set-up of the training course allows for discussion and questions. Questions can be formulated by the participants upfront or during the training. This course is delivered in partnership with Fraunhofer IEE. Training Objectives At the end of this course, the participants will: Understand the charging options for EVs and its impact on the grid and batteries Identify system services for EVs with regards to voltage quality at the point of common coupling Discover what are the 'grid friendly' and grid supporting functions in EVs Uncover the different applications, standards and data researched on EVs Examine the application of a grid planning tool (pandapower) for power system modelling Be able to develop code snippets with pandapower Apply and execute a code example for power system modelling with pandapower Target Audience EV and grid project developers and administrators Power grid operators and planners EPC organisations involved in grid development EV/ battery manufacturers and designers EV transport planners and designers Government regulators and policy makers Training Methods The VILT will be delivered online in 3 half-day sessions comprising 4 hours per day, with 2 x 10 minutes breaks per day, including time for lectures, discussion, quizzes and short interactive exercises. Additionally, some self-study will be requested. Participants are invited but not obliged to bring a short presentation (10 mins max) on a practical problem they encountered in their work. This will then be explained and discussed during the VILT. A short test or quiz will be held at the end of every session/day.
