COURSE DESCRIPTION:

 

Utility customers today are demanding higher reliability and lower costs, and this trend will undoubtedly continue for the next several decades. Strategic planning techniques provide a means of meeting the customer demands of reliability and economy while better placing power systems for acclimatising to future requirements.

Knowledge of power system protection systems is crucial when it comes to enhancing the reliability level of electric structures. With the developments in protection and communication technology and the durable increase in renewable energy sources, the design and implementation of power system protection systems have become even more challenging.

Power system protection systems play a vital role in launching reliable electrical power systems.

Due to the increasing relevance of electricity in today’s world, such power failures can have a severe impact on society and the global economy. Ill-designed protection systems may lead to major power failures. This training course presents proven planning methods which will benefit both the utility and its customers.

This training course will empower you with the knowledge on how to use economic and reliability analysis as a tool for decision support during planning, design, operation, and maintenance of electric power systems.
