Advanced and Design of Modern Electrical Distribution Systems Technology Course
Course Overview:
This course combines the design elements of modern electrical distribution networks with the expectation of secure and cost-effective solutions considering the desirability of the system allowing participants to develop behaviour models for distribution networks, design constraints, selecting the right set of components and all related network layouts.
The course material includes basic reviews, load forecasts, equipment compliance, load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, voltage drops, power quality and so on. More advanced programs, like ETAP, CYME, SKM provide in their help manual practical sessions which complement and strengthen the above.
This course is suited for engineers and technicians dealing with utilities or industrial distribution networks, as well as for those working in related domains or dealing with equipment’s fabrication.
Course Objectives:
On completion of the course the trainee/s will be competent in:
- The behavior of Modern Electrical Distribution Networks Constraints on Distribution Network Design Choice of Correct Components and Network Layouts
- Using Computers for secure and economic network design
Who Should Attend?
The Course is designed for Engineers and Technicians from Electrical Transmission and Distribution Utilities or Major Consumers with Power Distribution Networks, such as those for oil and gas production, who are directly involved in the design, specification, and purchasing. It is also of great benefit to personnel who require a broad understanding of Distribution Network Design due to their employment in related activities, e.g. government agencies, loan agencies, etc. Design and Marketing Personnel from manufacturers of Distribution Network Equipment should also benefit greatly from the course.
