Programme Overview
Power transmission and distribution infrastructure connect, cities countries, power plants, urban area 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.
This training course will feature:
The conventional overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems
The smart grid network
The microgrid system
Power transformers
Circuit breakers
Protection relays and switchgear
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
Methodology
This training course will utilize a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. This includes presentation and discussion of the latest videos and technologies on smart grids and renewable energy.
Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the Presenter specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Specific goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled whenever practicable.
