Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design off-grid photovoltaic (PV) / generating set (Genset) systems.It includes determining and developing off-grid PV systems design including gensets, following design briefs, documenting design calculations and criteria, and obtaining design approval.This unit is appropriate for Licenced Electricians or Electrical Engineers with responsibility for designing off-grid photovoltaic/generating set systems.Licensing, legislative or certification requirements that apply to this unit may differ between jurisdictions and system types. They should be checked prior to commencing this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to design off-grid PV/genset system
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2 Scope of the off-grid PV/genset system and electrical installation is determined from site survey report and design brief
  • 1.3 Safety and regulatory requirements to which the electrical installation must comply are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.4 Design development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with other person/s involved in the off-grid system installation or associated work
2 Develop off-grid PV/genset system design
  • 2.1 Off-grid PV/genset system performance standards and compliance methods are applied to the design
  • 2.2 Safety, functionality and budgetary considerations are incorporated in the off-grid PV/genset system design
  • 2.3 Power and energy management requirements are incorporated in design
  • 2.4 Design aspects are verified by qualified person/s
  • 2.5 Off-grid PV/genset system design is drafted and checked for compliance with the design brief and regulatory requirements
  • 2.6 Off-grid PV/genset system design is documented and submitted in line with industry standards and regulations, job requirements and workplace procedures
