This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Power Technology. It covers the power generation, transmission and distribution systems; the voltage, current, resistance and power relationships; the differences, advantages and applications of AC and DC power; the power generation methods and the components that make up the power grid including substations and transformers; and the safety in power generation and distribution and thermal power plants, hydroelectric power and nuclear power generation.
Further, the course will also discuss the renewable energy sources, distributed generation systems, energy storage solutions, power transmission systems and distribution networks; the smart grids, advanced metering, power quality and reliability; addressing issues like voltage stability, flicker and harmonics; the role and components of substations in power systems; and the protection of power systems against faults and failures.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the load forecasting management; the principles of electricity pricing, market structures and trading; the regulatory frameworks and the environmental challenges associated with power generation; the energy efficiency and conservation by reducing energy consumption and loss; integrating renewable energy sources and cutting-edge renewable energy technologies and their potential; the role of power technology in the development of smart cities; the impact of electric vehicles on power demand and distribution networks; and the energy blockchain, artificial intelligence and machine learning in power systems.
