This online engineering PDH course will discuss the characteristics and application of different types of batteries in detail.
Electricity cannot always be generated where and when it is needed so batteries are used in instances where direct current is needed and/or there is no access to power outlet, or a cord become cumbersome. A battery is a device where chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. Many different types of batteries are available for a wide variety of applications, from storing solar power for satellites in space to powering heart pacemakers fitted inside people's chests.
All batteries contain one or more cells, but the terms battery and cell are often used interchangeably. A cell is the working chemical unit inside a battery. Cells can be divided into primary cells and secondary cells. Primary cells include dry cells, better known as flashlight batteries and the secondary cells, better known as rechargeable batteries include the lead-acid batteries used in automobiles and the nickel-cadmium batteries used in cellular phones.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding of batteries.

This online engineering PDH course provides basic engineering guidance in operation, maintenance, diagnostics, and testing of Lead-acid and Ni-Cad batteries down to individual battery cell level.
Batteries are the backup power source for millions of consumer, business, medical, military, and industrial equipments worldwide. The critical applications such as computers, servers, instruments, telecommunications or life saving equipments require 100% redundancy in every aspect to ensure high degree of reliability and operation. Although the power supply is available from commercial power supply sources, any malfunction and interruption of the utility power can be detrimental to the critical operations of the facility. Consistent and reliable performance of batteries is thus critical to smooth functioning of modern equipments.

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of various TES technology options and discusses their inherent pros and cons.
Thermal energy storage (TES) system is a load shifting strategy for creation of cooling to off-peak hours. In a TES system, a storage media is cooled during periods of low cooling demand and the stored cooling is used later to meet air-conditioning load or process cooling loads. Operating refrigeration chillers at night and displacing energy use from peak (day time) to off-peak periods when the energy is at a lower cost is the primary objective of TES system.
As a proven technology, chilled water or ice thermal storage systems supply the desired reliability for high air conditioning availability during peak hours and can substantially cut operating costs and reduces capital outlays when systems are suitably designed. It offers building owners the potential for substantial operating cost savings by using off-peak electricity to produce chilled water or ice for use in cooling during peak-hours.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to architects, air-conditioning engineers, controls engineers, contractors, environmentalists, energy auditors and loss prevention professionals. It is assumed that all the readers know the basic functioning of the air conditioning system.

- Overview of thermal energy storage systems
- Understanding chilled water storage systems
- Understanding ice thermal storage systems
- Selecting a right TES system
- Familiarizing with district cooling system
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "Air Conditioning with Thermal Energy Storage".
