EVENTS

This workshop will provide a hands-on introduction to the analytical methods employed by the RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software, its resource and product databases, and its new Clean Energy Legal Toolkit. Analysis methods include energy systems, financial, economic, risk and sensitivity, and greenhouse gas analysis. At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to build project analysis models for photovoltaics, wind, and combined heat and power projects.

The RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software is a unique decision support tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from government, industry, and academia. The software, provided free-of-charge, can be used worldwide to evaluate the energy production and savings, costs, emission reductions, financial viability and risk for various types of Renewable-energy and Energy-efficient Technologies (RETs). The software (available in multiple languages) also includes product, project, hydrology and climate databases, a detailed user manual, and a case study based college/university-level training course, including an engineering e-textbook.

While the workshop will focus on imparting hands-on skills on the use of RETScreen, participants will also gain insights that will enable their self-learning about the algorithms and engineering behind the models. This workshop targets professionals involved in project due diligence, project appraisal, electric utilities, energy policy analysis, and pre-feasibility and feasibility studies.
