SUMMARY:COST Training School
DESCRIPTION:MONITORING AND SIMULATION OF THE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY OF PHOTOVOLTAICS IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT\nShort description: The first PEARL-PV Training School on the topic \n“Monitoring and Simulation of the Performance and Reliability of Photovoltaics in the Built Environment” \nwill take place at University of Cyprus in Nicosia in Cyprus\, between 23th and 26th October 2018. It will focus on the special requirements and challenges of integrating PV in built environment and grids with focus on the determination and prediction of performance and reliability. In a 3\,5 days training school comprising of input lectures\, practical courses and on-site excursions\, trainees will gain a deep understanding of planning and building of integrated photovoltaics and learn about key topics from PEARL PV Working Groups such as performance monitoring\, reliability and simulation issues. \nTraining School trainees (students\, researchers\, educators and practitioners) will participate in multiple introductive expert lectures\, interactive seminars\, practical courses  including team action work\, study tours\, and much more.
