Need a DG Course

Need a DG Course

Need a DG Course

(OP)
I am trying to find a good DG course that I can take.  I haven't found many options.  I wanted to see who here has suggestions of specific institutions offering courses in continuing ed for Distributed Generation.  I understand the basics and have read quite a few technical papers, but I am looking for something comprehensive.  I guess another question is how others have picked up DG knowledge.  Please help!


Thanks

RE: Need a DG Course

Basler does a course every spring (or late winter).  That's about the only one I know of; I took it many years ago, there have been several changes since then so I don't know how the present course stacks up.

RE: Need a DG Course

The Basler DG course is still pretty good.  It went thru a phase where it turned into a big marketing push, but the last time I went (2009) it had returned to a good set of technical presentations. Only problem is they do it once a year.

They also have a Power Control and Protection Class that covers similar topics. www.basler.com

Depending on your experience level you can also look at the courses offered by EGSA.  www.egsa.org

SEL has a number of courses, mostly in Washinton State, and all I've been to are very good, but not exactly what I'd call a DG course, but their power protection course covers a lot of what I thought applied.  www.selinc.com

Hope that helps, Mike L.
