Smart grids revolutionise electricity generation, distribution, and consumption by utilising real-time data, advanced analytics, and intelligent automation.

This transformation empowers utility companies, businesses, and consumers to optimise energy usage, enhance grid reliability, and reduce environmental impact. In addition to improving operational efficiency and resilience, smart grids pave the way for greater integration of renewable energy sources, energy storage systems, and electric vehicles, which creates a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem.

To support the Singapore Energy Transition, skilled professionals in smart grid technologies are in demand. These capabilities are essential for developing smart grid infrastructure and services, addressing the rising demand for electricity and the increasing use of distributed energy resources like solar and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).

This 5-day intensive course is designed to equip professionals with a deep understanding of smart grids and their integration with key technologies such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), integration of distributed resources, microgrids, electricity markets, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Learners will develop a holistic understanding of the entire system, integrating the interrelated sub-sectors of solar, ESS, electricity imports, and smart grids.
