Training Overview

Training Overview

The Power and Electricity Masterclass training course offered by Coventry Academy provides a comprehensive exploration of the electricity generation, transmission, and distribution systems. Electricity begins its journey at power plants and travels through a network of substations, transformers, and power lines known as the grid, connecting producers and consumers for reliable supply.

In the utilities sector, electric power is generated from fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and gas, as well as renewable sources like solar and wind energy. Transmission of electricity typically occurs overhead, except in urban areas where it may be underground. Power transformers play a crucial role in efficiently transferring large quantities of electricity. Distribution can also be overhead or underground, involving a variety of control, protection, and switching devices to manage the flow of electricity.

Key topics covered in the Coventry Academy training course include:

  • Various methods of electrical power generation, both conventional and unconventional
  • Overview of the smart grid system for enhanced efficiency and reliability
  • Methodologies for overhead transmission lines
  • Operations and functions of power transformers in the transmission process
  • Layout and components of electricity distribution networks
  • Importance and functionality of protection, control, and switching devices at the distribution level

What are the goals?

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

  • Thermal power generation system
  • Smart grid and renewable energy
  • Importance and role of power transformers
  • Overhead and underground transmission and distribution system
  • Common protection, control and switching devices

Who is this Training Course for?

The Coventry Academy training course will benefit the engineers, technicians and supervisors on the operations. It 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 in Dubai 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.
