Course Catalogue.

After participating in this course, you will:

• Be knowledgeable of electricity principles, how they apply in electric power systems, elements of power systems, electricity generation and overview of electricity transmission and distribution
• Interact more effectively with other work groups involved in electric power system planning, operation and maintenance
• Apply knowledge of power systems in regulatory work related to electric facilities construction and operation

Description

The course explains the fundamental principles of the electric power system. It describes step by step about electricity fundamentals, what constitutes an electric power system, how it works, electricity generation types, active and reactive power and power system losses. The course also describes single and three-phase configurations of power generation, transmission and distribution, balanced and unbalanced power and the concept of power flow studies.

The course is intended to provide a clear understanding of electricity fundamentals and electric power systems to professionals who, although qualified in their own disciplines, may have yet to receive formal electrical engineering training. However, the course is also designed to benefit engineers seeking to refresh their knowledge of electricity basics and power system fundamentals.
