COURSE OVERVIEW

Smart Grid refers to networks that carry generated electricity from the plants to consumers and businesses. The electricity grid (computerized electric utility grid ) includes a computer-based remote control, SCADA, automation, substations, wires, transformers, switches, two-way communication technology, and much more.

Smart Grid Training with emphasis on developing and enhancing the workforce within the Electric Power Sector focuses on smart grid technologies. Our Smart Grid training address on the entire electricity delivery system, including transmission, distribution, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

Learn about tools and techniques to build, operate, and maintain a modern electricity system, integrating renewable energy sources, and issues environmental concerns including carbon management. Smart Grid Training targets professionals involved in power electronics, information and communications technologies, policy, and economics.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completing this smart grid training course, learners will be able to meet these objectives:

  • Understand what a smart grid is and its benefits
  • Advance your knowledge about smart grid concepts and technologies
  • Learn about smart grid technology, business, and operations of energy generation
  • Learn about smart grid architecture and implementation
  • Understand how advanced technologies should be integrated to enable a modern grid
