The career foundations of battery energy storage engineering: storage technologies, system sizing, power conversion, safety and fire protection design, grid interconnection, project delivery and how to enter the field.
Who this track is for
Electricians, solar designers, electrical technicians and engineering students who want to understand how stationary battery storage systems are designed, built and operated, and what it takes to work as a storage engineer.
What you’ll be able to do
- Explain how the main stationary battery chemistries and system architectures differ
- Size a storage system for backup, peak shaving or solar self-consumption
- Describe how inverters, battery management and controls work together
- Explain the safety, fire-protection and siting issues storage engineers design for
- Use VR and mixed-reality tools to preview, simulate, assemble and verify a storage installation
Course curriculum
Module 1: The energy storage engineer role
Storage engineers design, specify and support battery systems from home backup units to utility-scale installations.
Module 2: Battery chemistries and system architectures
Not all batteries are equal.
Module 3: Sizing storage for the application
Sizing starts with the load and the goal.
Module 4: Power conversion, battery management and controls
The battery is only part of the system.
Module 5: Safety, fire protection and siting
Storage engineers design for thermal runaway, ventilation, separation distances and emergency response.
Module 6: Interconnection, permitting and utility programs
Storage that connects to the grid needs utility approval.
Module 7: Project delivery, commissioning and your career plan
Follow a project from design to commissioning and learn how engineers support construction, testing and handover.
Module 8: VR and mixed reality: preview, simulate, assemble and verify
How techs use VR headsets, spatial computing headsets and mixed-reality smart glasses to preview, simulate, assemble and verify installations and repairs.

FAQ
Will this make me an engineer? No. This career track teaches the foundations of the role and how to enter the field. Engineering jobs normally require an engineering degree, and some require a state engineering license.
Is this a license or certification? No. This is skills training. You receive a Certificate of Completion. Licensing requirements vary by state and trade — always verify your local requirements.
Do I need a headset? No. The VR and mixed-reality module explains how the tools are used on the job; no hardware is included or required.
How long do I have access? Lifetime access, including updates.
