The goal of this Transmission & Distribution Operation & Design Calculations training event is to provide participants a solid understanding of power system theories, ideas, and parameters as well as how equations, curves, diagrams, and tables are used to analyze this data. The technical details, functionality, and behavior of power system main equipment, such as power transformers, distribution transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers, earthing switches, auto-reclosers, transmission lines, busbars, protection and control systems, are the main topics of this electrical engineering training seminar, which is actually a brief review of electrical engineering principles.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this training course, you will learn how to:

Model a power system by means of system parameters
Create different load flow scenarios through different switching regimes
How to analyze and interpret the response of the power system to different scenarios
How to modify the power system behavior in an area by enhancing system parameters
Create and analyze protection curves to achieve coordination between different bays
