Sustainable Energy Systems Beginner Masterclass

The energy industry is undergoing a revolution, with new grid models emerging, more renewable energy systems being integrated, and digitalisation and Industry 4.0 transforming how the energy business is run. Also, global geopolitics is ever-changing and dynamic, and so is the impact of population growth, all affecting how energy is secured and used. Energy supply infrastructures are getting older, and countries are depleting their reserves of finite energy sources and becoming net importers. Political will and poor policies are creating unintended energy supply and use consequences. The list is endless. But the impact is felt by all – individuals, businesses, governments, the military and paramilitary. At the heart of this is good energy resource management, and guiding this is good energy security.

Energy Security is a specialist term defined by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as the "…uninterrupted physical availability of energy at a price which is affordable while respecting environmental concerns…". So while the first thought may be about the security of supply, it is also about price and protecting the environment.

This course will provide a detailed understanding of the concept of energy security, its drivers, and its impacts. It is meant to expose you to the issues, past and current energy developments, and vulnerabilities when looking at energy security. It will also briefly introduce key measures and areas for improvement. This is a fully practical masterclass, with examples based on real-life experiences and scenarios. It is well balanced for those in the technical field, those in government, those in the military and paramilitary, and those in the business world. The main being to provide a wide-range introduction to energy security in a self-contained manner but also in-depth enough, alongside practical cases and skills necessary to understand and discuss energy security. It will lay the groundwork for a much greater future engagement for those in the public, private or non-profit sectors. It will cover past, current, and future potential and energy security scenarios using real-life case studies. You will get a comprehensive overview of energy security and how to incorporate these into your strategic planning.

The energy industry is relevant for everyone but is also pretty complicated. This course will help you understand some of the risks that apply to your organisation.

Considering the heightened global security issues and impacts of COVID, now is an excellent time to learn this course.
