Leonardo Energy, a Copper Alliance initiative, is offering a free online course for energy managers with an interest in improving their organisation’s energy performance and implementing an energy management system.
The training will take participants through the energy management cycle using ISO 50001 as a basis and offers opportunities to network and interact with peers. The course is structured into nine chapters that work through managerial roles, energy review and planning, implementation of a management system and verification of performance improvement.
Around 400 participants from around Europe are currently working through the course. For more details and to register, visit www.leonardo-academy.org/course and select Energy Management Foundation Training.

Hans De Keulenaer on 15 Jan 10"This paper describes the performance of the network of a typical future residential concept area, as has been studied in the Intelligent E-Transportation Management project. Several scenarios have been elaborated by load flow simulations. The study investigated what level of introduction of electric vehicles, heat pumps, photovoltaic systems and micro- combined heat and power plants is feasible in this network. Possible overload situations are examined and the opportunities of demand side management for the power grid are investigated. In general load-flow simulations show that transformer overloads will occur when electric heat pumps and electric vehicles are introduced together in this specific grid. In that case extension of the grid or of the transformer capacity is necessary. Alternatively, demand side management can be applied successfully to mitigate the overload."
