COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt 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 Power Generation and Transmission. It covers the power generation technologies, thermodynamics in power generation, thermal power plants and nuclear and hydro power basics; the renewable energy integration, power use in desalination, cogeneration with power plants and energy optimization strategies; the steam turbines, gas turbines, combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants, generators and excitation systems and boilers and heat recovery systems; and the auxiliary and balance-of-plant systems, environmental compliance in generation and power transmission. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the transmission lines and towers, substations and switchyards, power transformers and high voltage equipment; the reactive power and voltage control, grid operation and control centers and power system stability; the fault analysis and protection schemes, grid code and compliance and interconnection and power exchange; and the power quality management, load forecasting and demand planning, transmission system planning and digitalization in generation and transmission.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the renewable integration into grid covering grid codes for renewables, curtailment and smoothing techniques; the battery and hybrid storage and advanced forecasting tools; and the cybersecurity in power systems comprising of threats to SCADA/EMS systems, cyber-physical risk management, (NERC CIP, IEC 62443) standards and incident response planning.
