Modern Electrical Power System

Course Overview:

Modern electrical power systems increases the efficiency of electrical power generations, transmission and distribution it also lower carbon footprint for a greener world. It includes the ‘green generation’ of electricity by means of PV Solar Systems, Wind Power Technology, Geothermal Technology and Hydro Power.

Course Objective:

• Power flow optimization for ‘real power’ and use of a of FACTS devices to improve system operation, including DSM approach
• New CT and VT optical transducers and protection system using microprocessor relays
• Nonlinear loads and injected Harmonics, at the PCC (point of common coupling)
• Diagnostic monitoring of plant and in particular GIS substations

Who Should Attend?

• Engineers
• Technicians
• Professionals involved with the planning, operation and maintenance of small to large scale power networks, from around 11kV upwards
