Power System Design and Smart Utility Solutions

Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Conventional Electric Power Including Digital Smart Solutions

Course Overview

Power system design are crucial for a safe and secured electrical power utilization. It begins at the generation stage, where electricity is generated. The design of the generation of electricity are migrating from the conventional fossil fuels to the renewable green energy namely solar, wind and hydro. At the transmission stage electricity travel kilometers of energy by either overhead or underground systems. With the presence of renewable energy grid integration, they are now possible by maximizing the electrical power demand. This will also reduce carbon emissions and global warming potentials.

Digitalisation has paved the way for smart electricity distribution via the smart grid and micro grid. Digital substations include substation automation using intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). The purpose of substation automation is to optimize the management of capital assets and enhance operation and maintenance efficiencies. In addition, by removing human interventions from the operation of substations, companies reap the benefits of long-term fiscal savings, with the presence of internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI).

This Power System Design and Smart Utility Solutions training course will highlight:

  • The concepts and methods of electric power generation
  • The overhead and underground transmission systems
  • Smart grid and micro grid for distribution of electricity
  • Benefits of digital substation automation
  • Safety and protection devices

Course Objectives

By the end of this Power System Design and Smart Utility Solutions training course, participants will learn to:

  • Identify the three stages of electrical energy flow, namely the generation, transmission and distribution
  • Understand the characteristics and methods of generation of electricity including green renewable energy
  • Recognise the roles characteristics of smart grid and micro grid
  • Merits of the digital substation
  • Assess the impact of IoT and AI with respect to the maintenance and performance of the grid

Training Methodology

This Power System Design and Smart Utility Solutions training course will be presented by means of power point slides through which all the required theory and equations will be provided. The training course also includes introduction of state-of-art technologies and equipment where delegates will be given the heads up and future ready.

Needs-Based case-studies and examples will be discussed in problem solving workshop sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions.
