Product details
A BESS can move quickly, but only inside the limits set by state of charge, duration, inverter mode, capability, protection, telemetry, and the interconnection agreement.
This course helps operators ask the questions that matter before dispatching or relying on battery energy storage and other inverter-based resources. It connects plant controls to frequency, voltage, reserves, ride-through, trips, forecasting uncertainty, and restoration coordination.
Know what the resource can actually deliver
- Interpret state of charge, ramp, duration, capability, and communications constraints.
- Distinguish grid-following and grid-forming concepts without overstating plant capability.
- Connect inverter behavior to frequency response, reserves, voltage, and reactive support.
- Coordinate abnormal events, trips, model uncertainty, and restoration.
Course contents
8 modules, 23 learner-visible lessons, 8 scored quizzes, and 42 formal questions. Dispatch, abnormal-event, and restoration scenarios are included with a mastery lab, downloadable quick reference, and completion certificate.
Best fit
System operators, generation dispatchers, transmission and balancing personnel, renewable-integration teams, planning and operations support, and utilities preparing for BESS/IBR growth.
Delivery: self-paced course access for 365 days. Department cohorts can be coordinated with EPG Solutions.
Operating-awareness training. It does not replace facility-specific models, controls, procedures, protection settings, interconnection requirements, or real-time authority direction.

Reconcile state of charge, inverter limits, telemetry, and dispatch instructions before choosing a safe ramp or hold action.
Technology and study setup
- A current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari with cookies and JavaScript enabled.
- A stable internet connection, an email account you can access, and speakers or headphones for courses containing video.
