Generator Excitation Systems :Design, Commissioning, Operation, Maintenance, Performance Analysis, Testing, Tuning, Repair and Troubleshooting Course
Introduction:
Since the 1960s, there has been a growing recognition and commitment to excitation control systems within the electric power industry. These systems play a crucial role in maintaining power system stability, especially in scenarios involving large generators, long transmission lines, voltage-sensitive locations, or local and intertie oscillations. The reliability and availability of excitation systems are directly impacted by skilled routine maintenance practices and proficient troubleshooting capabilities.
To effectively troubleshoot excitation systems, it is essential to possess a solid operational understanding of the system itself and its voltage regulator. Therefore, this workshop is specifically designed to comprehensively cover various aspects, including Excitation System Design, Commissioning, Operation, Maintenance, Performance Analysis, Testing, Tuning, Repair, and Troubleshooting.
Course Objectives:
Using effective routine maintenance practices
- Knowing what checks may be performed on-line and how to perform these checks without causing an equipment shutdown.
- Increasing the likelihood of accurate problem diagnosis by thoroughly understanding how the equipment operates.
- Increasing the likelihood of accurate problem diagnosis by understanding any given circuit's impact upon operations; ie., quickly linking the symptom(s) to the faulty circuit.
- Verifying suspected faulty circuit by analyzing voltage levels and/or signal traces.
- Understanding the necessary calibrations, after the faulty part has been replaced, including how the calibrations are performed.
Who Should Attend?
This workshop is intended for electrical engineers, supervisors and technicians
