How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Microsoft Excel with @RISK, Python (NumPy, pandas), H2A Production Model (NREL), SAM (System Advisor Model), PVsyst, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Assignments are based on real valuation procedures: discounted cash flow valuation of a wind farm, levelised cost of hydrogen calculation with sensitivities, and real options valuation of an electrolysis project. Assessment is continuous, per module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Apply discounted cash flow valuation methods to energy assets.
Estimate the risk-adjusted discount rate for each technology.
Model the production and revenues of renewable projects.
Calculate the levelised cost of hydrogen and its sensitivities.
Incorporate uncertainty through scenarios, Monte Carlo and real options.
