COURSE OVERVIEW

The Power System Fundamentals for Engineers Training course will help you to understand the basic concepts of electricity generation, circuit analysis, power plants, generators, power delivery, and the power market.

The Power System Fundamental training course simply teaches you the history behind power generation and lays down the basic theory of circuit analysis in AC/DC systems. Different components of a power system including the generation units (power plants), transmission level (transmission lines and substations), and customers (loads) will be discussed. The operation principles of governors, boilers, cooling towers, and turbines are discussed in the power system fundamental training course.

This course gives you sufficient knowledge to understand the operation of synchronous generators as the main components in electricity generation by introducing the magnetic theory and simplified electrical models. Transformers as the second important device in power plants will be introduced and analyzed in detail. Furthermore, power delivery topics including transmission line modeling, HVDC transmission, reliability challenges in power delivery, and customer demand are introduced in Power System Fundamental for the engineers training course.
