Training Objective

This course is intended to introduce distribution engineering as a growing area suitable for studying new trends in computation, automation, and control techniques. The idea is to present the basic concepts for assessment, design, formulation, and analysis of distribution performance. This is timely, given the growing research interest, the desire for automation, and the commitment to build an efficient and cost-effective distribution system in a competitive utility environment.

The growth of the industry has led to many innovations, including economy of scale from large hydro, fossil fuel and, recently, small independent power producers (IPP), in what is called distributed generation. The designs of distributed generation have been based on criteria to improve its reliability, load management, and system performance in response to various disturbances.

New solutions to the protection, control, and monitoring of power systems are being put to work all the time, by scientists, engineers, and technicians in utilities and industry around the world. The expansion of the existing interconnected electric power transmission systems offers significant advantages with respect to operational security, integration of renewable energy, as well as energy trading.

Smart Grids are regarded as the pre-requisite for meeting the challenges of the electricity supply of the twenty first century with its significant share of renewable energy sources (RES) in the annual electricity consumption, most of which are volatile and dependent on the weather conditions.

Target Audience

Personnel working in all areas of electricity section who wish to understand the various aspects of smart metering and smart grid, Managers, network and distribution engineers, Instrumentation engineers, senior technical staff, plant designers, plant managers, Energy Management System, etc
