Power Systems Operation and Planning

Power System Dynamics Analysis

Course Overview

This Power Systems Operation and Planning training course will explore important aspects of power system operation, control and planning analysis assessment and methodology. 

Generation, transmission and distribution in electrical power systems have a lot of standards for stability, analysis quality and failures precautions. As part of design and analysis program, electrical power operation, control and planning are a major issue when studying powers system operation and maintenance activities.  Having stable and highly standard qualified power system needs concentration on voltage, frequency, power factor, harmonics load forecasting and planning. To improve the system performance, reliability, and to ensure cost-effective expenditures recent methodology that will reflect these analysis, monitoring, inspection and load development efforts in terms of overall condition of the power system equipment are needed. Also, techniques are needed to assess the impact of analysis and inspection activities on the overall reliability of systems performance. 

This training course equips delegates with the knowledge to analyze, plan, and operate power systems in a cost-effective manner. It covers key topics such as power quality, system stability, reliability, and other critical operational aspects. The training course places emphasis on cost optimization, control strategies, and load development. Additionally, it addresses essential issues including stability analysis, voltage control, and overall system reliability. A significant component of the training is the dynamic modeling of generators, loads, and the reliability of transmission and distribution networks. 

The Power System Operation and Planning training course is targeted at technical personnel working in the small to medium to Large Power Generation, Power Transmission and Distribution Systems, particularly in the grid utilities of Oil & Gas and Heavy Industries.
