Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to coordinate the design of micro-grid renewable energy systems.It includes safe work practices, site survey processes and procedures, service provider responsibilities, consulting with qualified people to assess client energy demand requirements and assessing micro-grid equipment options to meet client requirements and site conditions. It also covers advice to the client on energy storage standards, codes of practices, government/utilities incentive schemes, and information related to the design and installation of a micro-grid renewable energy generation system.This unit is appropriate for Licenced Electricians or Electrical Engineers with responsibility for coordinating site survey for, and the design of, micro-grid renewable energy systems.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements that apply to this unit may differ between jurisdictions and system types. They should be checked prior to commencing this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to coordinate design of micro-grid
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures relevant to site assessment are obtained and applied
  • 1.2 Scope and scale of proposed micro grid is determined from project brief
  • 1.3 Stakeholders and required experts that need to be consulted and involved are identified and engaged
  • 1.4 Site survey plan is developed in consultation with required personnel
  • 1.5 Equipment and documentation needed for the site survey are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 1.6 Requirements for site survey, contractual obligations, and roles/responsibilities of people involved are discussed with stakeholder/s
  • 1.7 Requirements for production and approval of design are identified and documented
2 Coordinate site survey for a micro-grid
  • 2.1 Details of project brief are verified, and any discrepancies recorded
  • 2.2 Current stakeholder/s energy usage data is collected and expected future energy generation needs are discussed, and expectations are clarified
  • 2.3 Energy resource data is collected
  • 2.4 Information about site access, building structures and layout, and existing electrical infrastructure is gathered and documented
  • 2.5 Site hazards that may impact installation are identified and documented
  • 2.6 Reports and data from technical experts are obtained and added to site survey data
  • 2.7 Distribution/network requirements are determined where required
  • 2.8 Site survey data is analysed and report prepared
3 Coordinate the design of micro-grid
