Transmission & Distribution Operation & Design Calculations

introduction
This Transmission & Distribution Operation & Design Calculations training course has been designed to provide a good understanding of power system concepts, theories, parameters, and the way such information is analyzed by means of equations, curves, diagrams, and tables.
This Electrical Engineering training course is in fact a quick review on electrical engineering principles and focuses on the technical specifications, operation, and behavior of power system main equipment such as power transformers, distribution transformers, switchgears, circuit breakers, earthing switches, auto-reclosers, transmission lines, busbars, and protection and control systems.
Nowadays, the significant trend in load increase in industrial centers, shopping malls, and residential areas requires upgrading and enlargement of power systems and utility grids. This can be achieved by designing highly reliable busbar configurations, interconnecting transmission lines, zone substations, and distribution centers, and also by expanding power plants and embedded generation facilities in appropriate locations
OBJECTIVES
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
• Model a power system by means of system parameters
• Create different load flow scenarios through different switching regimes
• How to analyze and interpret the response of the power system to different scenarios
• How to modify the power system behavior in an area by enhancing system parameters
• Create and analyze protection curves to achieve coordination between different bays
