Course Overview
Modern electrical power systems increases the efficiency of electrical power generations, transmission and distribution it also lower carbon footprint for a greener world. It includes the ‘green generation’ of electricity by means of PV Solar Systems, Wind Power Technology, Geothermal Technology and Hydro Power.
Course Objective
- Power flow optimisation for ‘real power’ and use of a of FACTS devices to improve system operation, including DSM approach
- New CT and VT optical transducers and protection system using micro processor relays
- Non linear loads and injected Harmonics, at the PCC (point of common coupling)
- Diagnostic monitoring of plant and in particular GIS substations
Who Should Attend??
