SUMMARY:Cyberguardians Training: Secure Communication Networking for Distributed Energy Resources
DESCRIPTION:Course Cost: $895 (scholarships available for qualifying military veterans) \nPrerequisites: There are no prerequisites. And students should have a firm grasp of the basic principles of electricity and data communications. An understanding of grid-tied solar PV and energy storage systems will be helpful. \nCourse Format [27 Course Hours / 9 Weeks]: This is an online course with pre-recorded weekly lectures. Other learning activities include reading assignments\, quizzes\, videos of narrated PowerPoint presentations\, discussion forums\, and an individual project. \nCourse Description: The course begin with an overview of Distributed Energy Resource (DER) market requirements in California\, and an introduction to grid standards and DER functions in the U.S. and other national markets around the world. Subsequent modules will present communication protocols for DER\, California-specific communication requirements\, a drill-down into the features of California’s default communication standard (IEEE 2030.5)\, a review of cybersecurity requirements\, testing considerations\, and how to deploy secure DER networks in the field. The purpose of this course is to provide Distributed Energy technical professionals (engineers\, product managers\, managers\, and technical executives) working in the DER industry with an understanding of: California market dynamics; the regulatory and the technical requirements for data communication; cybersecurity and testing considerations; and considerations for deploying secure networks for DER.

SUMMARY:Cyberguardians Training: System Cybersecurity for IEEE 2030.5 DER Networks
DESCRIPTION:September 20 – October 8\, 2021 \nCourse Cost: $295 (scholarships available for qualifying military veterans) \nPrerequisites: While there are no prerequisites to this course\, students with knowledge of Distributed Energy Resources and/or data communication systems based on TCP/IP protocols will benefit most. \nCourse Format [9 Course Hours / 3 Weeks]: This is an online course with pre-recorded weekly lectures. Other learning activities include reading assignments\, quizzes\, videos of narrated PowerPoint presentations\, discussion forums\, and an individual project. \nCourse Description: As society’s demand for energy switches from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind\, the location and number of energy generation systems is changing dramatically. While in the past relatively few\, large generators served virtually all electrical needs in the U.S.\, future demand will be served by millions of small Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s)\, many located on residential home rooftops\, commercial buildings\, or land that is closer to energy demand. On the regulatory front\, important standards\, like IEEE 1547-2018 at the federal level or California Rule 21 or Hawaii rule 14H as the state level\, are driving the architecture of these DER systems. \nAs DER systems come online\, many systems including; PV systems\, stationary energy storage systems\, electric vehicles (EV’s) and EV charging stations) will attach to data communication networks that conform to the IEEE 2030.5 standard. These networks will enable DER systems to communicate with the local utility for the purpose of managing grid health and optimizing total system cost. Such an environment represents an inviting target for criminals\, terrorists and other adversaries. \nThis course will examine the evolution of DER networks based on the IEEE 2030.5 standard\, how this evolution introduces cybersecurity risks\, and how these risks can be mitigated. This course is intended for students who are interested in exploring technical (e.g. cybersecurity\, engineering\, software\, systems management)\, professional (e.g. architecture\, marketing\, finance)\, and operational (e.g. operations & maintenance\, sit monitoring) careers in the rapidly growing distributed energy industry. Students will acquire a foundation in the basic cybersecurity concepts that are needed to understand the more detailed considerations associated with securing DER in the grid.

SUMMARY:Cyberguardians Training: Introduction to Distributed Energy Resources in the Electrical Grid
DESCRIPTION:Course Cost: $895 (scholarships available for qualifying military veterans) \nPrerequisites: There are no prerequisites to take this course. \nCourse Format [27 Course Hours / 9 Weeks]: This is an online course with pre-recorded weekly lectures. Other learning activities include reading assignments\, quizzes\, videos of narrated PowerPoint presentations\, discussion forums\, and an individual project. \nCourse Description: The nation’s electrical energy generation sources are rapidly transitioning from large central generation plants that burn fossil fuels to distributed generation systems (often located on rooftops) that use renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic. Important standards and regulation\, like IEEE 1547-2018 at the federal level or California Rule 21 or Hawaii Rule 14H at the state level\, are driving development agenda. \nThis course is an introduction to Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the electrical grid and the standards that inform DER deployment. The course requires no prior knowledge of the topic and is intended for students who are interested in exploring technical (e.g. engineering\, chemistry\, software)\, professional (e.g. architecture\, marketing\, finance)\, and operational (e.g. accounting\, logistics) careers in the rapidly growing distributed energy industry. Students will acquire a foundation in the basic electrical concepts that are needed to understand the more detailed considerations associated with DER in the grid. The course will also provide detailed insights into topics concerning DER interconnection standards and regulations\, DER networking standards like IEEE 2030.5\, and cybersecurity. Key DER technologies such as solar\, wind\, energy storage\, and electric vehicles are also covered in more depth.
