Can Anyone Register for the GEC?

 
Anyone thinking about a career in the energy sector should consider adding the Global Energy Certification (GEC) to their resume. This online qualification was put together by NRG Expert, a company that specialises in helping businesses with energy-related issues and strategies. The course is 100% online and can be completed at your own leisure over the course of 12 months from anywhere in the world.

The qualification touches on a range of different topics, including renewable energy & biofuels, oil reserves & shale oil, and electricity and gas deregulation. Each topic is explored in depth and then all are examined at the end of the course with a single two hour examination, which is available to take online. Exams take place on the 10th of every month and students can choose which exam to take provided it has been at least six weeks since they registered for the course.

With a topic as complex as energy, you might be wondering whether students need any background knowledge before commencing the course. The GEC has been designed to be comprehensive. This means that everything you need to complete the exam is contained within the study material provided by NRG Expert. Therefore, there are no academic requirements before embarking on the course. Simply a good level of motivation and strong work ethic will do the trick. Remember that this course is entirely online so students are in charge of their own time-keeping and discipline.

Unlike a lot of energy courses, the GEC is an international certification and is therefore recognised around the world. What’s more, the GEC is open to applicants from all over the world. The final exam is online so it can be done from a remote location. This opens up the opportunity to complete the GEC to people from far flung corners of the earth and gives everyone the chance to boost their resume with an additional qualification.

So, who exactly takes the GEC? GEC students come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some students are young people who are still deciding on a career and want to explore the possibility of going into energy by gaining a relevant qualification. Other students are professionals looking to move up the career ladder by broadening their understanding of the energy sector. There are also professionals who want a complete career change and use the GEC to give them an overview of a potential new career option.

Regardless of your background or career status, the GEC is a fantastic opportunity for anyone who wants to learn more about the energy industry. The qualification is fully accredited and is an impressive addition to a resume. Not only will it make your application stand out, but it will also equip you with the skills you need to excel in a career in energy.

The largest solar farms in the world

Image
Solar energy is gaining in popularity. Most people know solar power as the rooftop panels that are being installed on more and more houses; or projects like Elon Musk’s Solar Roof. However, there are many different applications for solar and many ways energy can be generated using the power of the sun. Electricity is the most common use, but solar energy can also be used to heat water for use in the home, or a swimming pool, etc. Solar arrays can also be used to redirect the beams of the sun to a central point which is then converted to heat energy to drive turbines, much like a coal plant would use a burner – only this time there are no emissions, and just clean energy. A large array of solar panels, be it photovoltaic or thermal, is called a solar farm. Here we take a look at a few of the biggest in the world. Tengger Desert Solar Park Located in China, the world’s largest solar farm uses solar PV panels to generate 1,500MW of electricity. This plant covers 43 square kil

Building Smart Cities, an Energy Transition

Image
Smart cities were once thought to have been a $1.6 trillion market by 2020. Everything from housing, transportation, urban planning, management, would contribute to a smarter neighbourhood enriching the lives of the citizens and residents. From self-driving cars to automated delivery drones, IT networks will become the backbone of the interconnected world. We are not there, yet. Technology is developing and evolving but there is a lack of a common direction, and funding, for many of the players in the market bridging that final implementation gap. Often overlooked by the general public in their desire for a smarter city is also the technical feasibility. Not only do information networks play an important part; but energy is the driver of all of our smart ambitions. To foster the growth of smart cities and to facilitate the transition we must also critically evaluate our energy production and consumption pattern. On a local scale, Electric Vehicles are gaining in popularity

The World’s Longest Transmission Lines

Image
Some of the world’s largest power plants are in some of the most remote locations compared to where the electricity they generate is consumed. The technology of choice for many of these lines is HVDC or High Voltage Direct Current, which allows the electricity generated to be supplied up to hundreds of kilometers away. As the technology is not inexpensive, and requires a stable reliable generation supply in order to be effective. With increasing power demands and strain on electricity systems , developing High, and Ultra High Voltage power lines is only set to increase as new generation projects come online. As population centers are usually located far from hydro-electric plants, it is no surprise that most of the long-distance projects supply power from these dams to large population centers. Rio Madeira transmission link, Brazil Coming in at 2,385km, the Rio Madeira Transmission Link in Brazil tops the chart as the world’s longest. Supplying power from the Santo Antônio an
