Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of electrical load calculation and design. It covers the concept and types of electrical load and its impact on power systems; the load calculation and basic principle; the plant load factor, capacity factor and techniques to estimate load demand at the generation level; the diversity and coincidence factors and their effects on load calculation; the daily, monthly and yearly load curves and how to use load calculations for efficient power generation planning; the different load profiles in power distribution; the short-term, medium-term and long-term load forecasting techniques; using load calculations in implementing demand-side management strategies; and achieving load balancing in power distribution networks. During this interactive course, participants will learn the role of load calculation in ensuring power reliability and quality; how smart grids change load calculation approaches; the artificial intellligence (AI) techniques used in load forecasting; the load flow and the load flow studies and their importance in power system design and operation; the popular software tools used in load calculation; troubleshooting and solving common issues in load calculation; the renewable energy sources and its impact on load calculations; the load management in microgrids and distributed generation scenarios; the electric vehicles and load management; and the effect of electric vehicle charging on power loads.
