Training Overview

Training Overview

"Power transmission and distribution infrastructure is essential for connecting cities, countries, power plants, and both urban and rural areas to electrical power. The Smart Grid framework incorporates demand response, grid interconnections, energy management systems, and energy storage. This Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Engineering training course covers both conventional overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems.

Additionally, the course will explore microgrids, which are discrete energy systems composed of distributed energy sources, demand management, storage, and generation. These microgrids can operate either in parallel with or independently from the main power grid. Key equipment such as transformers, switchgears, and circuit breakers will be discussed to ensure efficient and safe electric power transmission and distribution.

This Coventry Academy training course will include:

  • Conventional overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems
  • Smart grid technology
  • Microgrid systems
  • Power transformers
  • Circuit breakers
  • Protection relays and switchgears"

What are the goals?

By the end of this Coventry Academy training course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the difference between a transmission network and a distribution network
  • Understand the characteristics of a smart grid
  • Determine the components and merits of a micro grid network
  • Explain the characteristics of the power transformers
  • Understand the various arc quenching methods for circuit breakers
  • Design a simple transmission and distribution network

Who is this Training Course for?

The training course will benefit the engineers, technicians and supervisors on the operations, functions of major renewable energy integration components. This Coventry Academy course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Electrical engineers
  • Electrical supervisors
  • Power engineers
  • Managers in-charge of electrical installations
  • Project engineers

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Coventry Academy training course will utilise a variety of proven adult training techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes presentation and discussion of latest videos and technologies on smart grids and renewable energy.

Questions are encouraged throughout, particularly at the daily wrap up sessions. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the Presenter specific issues and, if possible, find appropriate solutions. Specific goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure that their needs are fulfilled whenever practicable.
