Electric Energy Essentials
Many managers and technical professionals in the electric power
industry do not have a background in electrical power technology. They
need to be conversant with the details of power system components and
networks as well as operational issues such as economics and stability.
The Electric Energy Essentials course provides participants with an
overview of the electrical power network and its operation. The scope
begins with the history of the development of electric power and
continues through energy resources, network components and system
operation. Specifically, following explanation of the fundamentals of
three-phase AC power, the course discusses energy resources, including
renewable resources, and power generation along with environmental
impact. Electric power networks, as interconnections of components and
customers, are then discussed along with the issues of power quality and
safety. The course concludes with operational issues of network control,
blackout avoidance and modern deregulated networks.
Target Audience
Managers and Staff, who are not directly involved in the day-to-day
operation of the electrical power system, but may need to make informed
decisions relating to the energy industry.
For Engineers who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the electrical
power system, a five-day course, titled: Power Network Essentials is
offered to meet such requirements.
