EUROPEAN PROJECT INSTALL+RES: TRAINING C BIOMASS SYSTEMS IN B

摘要

The Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources sets an overall binding target of a 20% share of renewable energy sources in energy consumption by 2020 with binding national targets in line with the overall EU target of 20%. Details of how these targets will be achieved in each MemberState are given in National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs). High qualified workforce is fundamental to guarantee the quality in the installation of Renewable Energy Systems (RES)to be installed to achieve the mandatory targets of the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) by 2020. This paper presents the first European training course for trainers (teachers and engineers )and installers (electricians, plumbers, roofers and technicians for heating systems) of small-scale renewable energy systems (heat pumps, biomass, solar and photovoltaic systems) in buildings offered within the European project "Install+RES". The paper focuses on the "train the trainer" courses offered during the Install+RES project. The Install+RES "train the trainer" courses have been established in Munich, Germany, in German and English languages at the beginning of the Install+RES project. The PV module of the "train the trainer" courses was implemented at the end of 2010 and the solar thermal module of the "train the trainer" in German language was implemented in January 2011 in Munich, Germany. In the upcoming months the other modules of the "train the trainer" courses (heat pumps in English language and biomass modules both in German and English languages) will be also given in Munich, Germany. The idea behind the Install+RES project and the structure of the "train the trainer" courses will be presented in this paper providing detailed information on the training material and on the equipment utilized during the Install+RES "train the trainer" courses. This work will also highlight the innovative aspects of the Install+RES "train the trainer" courses such as the "hand on learning" concept, "tandem teaching" approach and the "multiplier effect". The "train the trainer" courses are fundamental to further ensure the high quality of the Install+RES training courses for installers. During the "train for trainers" courses, the trainers acquire practical and theoretical knowledge to properly implement in their countries the training courses for installers of small-scale renewable energy systems.The Install+RES training courses for installers will be developed and established in several European countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Poland and Slovenia) in line with the requirements stated in the Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources (article 14, Annex IV).The Install+RES training courses are meant to be an investment for sustainability by evolutionary processes, which will lead to the establishment of a high quality of skills and as consequence to the maximization of Renewable Energy Systems (RES)'s efficiency, reliability, lifetime and safety.The trainers and installers trained during the Install+RES training courses will be able to properly install the Renewable Energy Systems (RES) in their respective countries. This represents a fundamental step to ensure the achievement of the targets stated in the National Renewable Energy Action Plans (NREAPs) according to the Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable energy sources. The Install+RES project started in May 2010 and will end in April 2013.The Install+RES project is co-financed by the European Commission in the framework of the Intelligent Energy Europe(IEE) program.
