Electric Power Systems Course

These seminars provide an overview of engineering, design and operation of electric power systems. Energy delivery is traced from generation through transmission and distribution with a review of the engineering principles behind the systems and components in each area. The seminars place particular emphasis on issues of interest to commercial power consumers such as the interface between the customer and the utility, reliability, power-quality, safety and backup generation.

Electric Power Systems 2

• Electric Power Cable Systems
• Per Unit System Calculations
• Short Circuit Calculations
• Power Factor Correction
• Underground Network System Design
• Safety
• Load Characteristics
• Distributed Generation

Learning Objective:

Participants will develop a fundamental understanding of power theory with a working knowledge of generation, transmission and distribution components and the way in which they integrate into a composite power system.  Participants will also become familiar with real world applications and examples and develop enhanced problem solving abilities.
