Electrical Control Circuits in Transmission and Distribution Systems Course
Introduction:
Power transmission and distribution infrastructure connect city countries, power plants, urban areas, and rural areas to electrical power. Smart grid infrastructure requires demand response, grid interconnects energy management systems and energy storage. This training course in Dubai will include the conventional overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems. The training course will also look into the microgrid which is a discrete energy system consisting of distributed energy sources including demand management, storage, and generation and loads capable of operating in parallel with, or independently from, the main power grid. The relevant equipment like transformers switch gears, circuit breakers will be discussed so as to provide an efficient and safe electric power transmission and distribution systems.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
· Explain the difference between a transmission network and a distribution network
· Understand the characteristics of a smart grid
· Determine the components and merits of a microgrid network
· Explain the characteristics of the power transformers
· Understand the various arc quenching methods for circuit breakers
· Design a simple transmission and distribution network
