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 System. It covers the components and types of power systems, power generation methods and the role of water in power generation; the basic electrical engineering concepts, power generation technologies, power transmission basics and power distribution network; the importance of energy storage in power systems, types of energy storage (BESS, pumped storage) and applications of energy storage; the electrical protection systems, time-current characteristics of relays and voltage and frequency control; and the remote monitoring and control of substations, data acquisition and telemetry and fault detection and response. 

Further, the course will also discuss the various types of power system stability, stability analysis methods, dynamic stability and transient analysis; the smart grids and advanced control systems, economic dispatch and load forecasting, power system reliability and power market and trading; the role of demand side management (DSM) in power system operations; the grid modernization and smart metering; the power system planning and forecasting, fault analysis in power systems and power system protection coordination; and the short circuit calculations, generator protection and transformer protection. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the function and types of fuses, operation and selection of circuit breakers, role of disconnectors in protection systems and coordination of protective devices; the integration of renewable energy sources and the energy transition and decarbonization; the trends and technologies of power systems, disaster recovery plans for power grids and resilience metrics and performance indicators; the regulatory framework for power systems and environmental impact of power generation; the compliance with international standards (ISO, IEC) and the renewable energy regulations.
