Power System Analysis is an essential part of electrical power system design. Load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, and protection coordination are necessary to verify that the electrical system including the system components are correctly specified to perform as intended, withstand expected stress, and be protected against failures.
In order to obtain a highly reliable and efficient power system, it is necessary to build up/develop/discuss suitable power system modelling, load profiles, various busbar configurations with pro’s and con’s, technical specifications for major equipment, alternative protection schemes and control strategies, and an efficient earthing systems. All these topics are well discussed and practiced throughout this course.
Salvo Global’s engineering training course on “Advanced Power Systems” addresses all aspects of industrial and utility power systems, including system planning, equipment selection, specification and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements etc.Outline
