Training Overview

Training Overview

To effectively upgrade and economically operate an electrical power system, it's essential to conduct a comprehensive review of key electrical equipment and load profiles, such as Switchgear, Protection systems, Transformers, Motors, Variable Speed Drives (VSDs), Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Batteries, Motor Control Centers (MCCs), and Cable Systems, understanding their specifications and operational characteristics.

The Load Forecasting and System Upgrade training course offered by Coventry Academy integrates practical and theoretical exercises focused on installing and analyzing load forecasting studies and system upgrades within electrical power systems. It is designed to enhance your understanding of electrical power systems and their components. Participants will explore key electrical equipment, load profiles, and effective strategies for upgrading and economically dispatching power systems.The course also includes theoretical and practical exercises in load shedding analysis.

Key features of this training course include:

  • Detailed exploration of power system components, load types, load estimation, and advanced load forecasting techniques.
  • Hands-on system analysis and simulation using tools like ETAP to optimize power system operations and upgrades.
  • Emphasis on power system upgrading strategies, including load sampling rates and forecasting procedures.

What are the goals?

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

  • Develop and understand electrical system design/specification by basic principles
  • Determine and apply key electrical principles from codes, standards & DEPs
