Future distribution systems will be markedly different from their classical counterparts due to the infusion of new technologies and topologies. Better communications, computing and control schemes, distributed energy sources including microgrids, and power electronic equipment are being introduced at an unprecedented pace. New topologies such as looped and network structures are being adopted to provide increased reliability and efficiencies to customers.
Course Objectives:
This course is designed to provide comprehensive coverage on electric power distribution systems engineering. It also provides distribution system designers, planners and operators a strong foundation basis for arriving at cost-effective solutions and strategies. It will enable an engineer or a practicing individual in a utility or an industrial environment to design, plan, and operate a system. The course is ideal for those who have a basic understanding of power systems and need practical training in this field. The course can also be taken by engineers who did not specialize in power systems. The course material is designed to serve as a useful reference in day-to-day functions. The material also allows gaining self-paced, in-depth knowledge with the aid of practical examples. The topics covered in this course include the latest developments occurring in the industry.
The course covers related issues on basic concepts, equipment models, performance analysis methods and tools, planning, design, and automation. Several practical examples and cases are presented, studied, and analyzed in this course. Who Should Attend - Electric utility system planners, operators, and designers
- Personnel in protection equipment manufacturing companies
- University professors and graduate students
- Power system software developers
- Electric power industry consultants
Learning Outcomes - To gain a strong foundation on the basic concepts of distribution systems engineering
- To review and develop device models
- To review performance analysis methods
- To design and plan current and future distribution systems
- To operate future distribution systems for optimal performance
- To review the role of ANSI, IEEE, IEC and other standards
- To solve practical examples
Continuing Education Credits: EUCI is authorized by IACET to offer up to 1.2 CEUs for this program.
