This Utility Distribution System Planning training course covers the essential process of planning an electrical utility distribution system to ensure adequacy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The course begins with an overview of the distribution system and its basic equipment. It then delves into the planning process step-by-step, highlighting the importance of each stage in achieving the desired outcome. An in-depth examination of engineering economics ensures the cost-effectiveness of this capital-intensive infrastructure. The course also addresses the necessity of planning due to changes in load, including techniques for performing and interpreting load forecasts. Finally, methods for quantifying and measuring reliability will be discussed to accurately assess distribution reliability.
As utility customers increasingly demand higher reliability and lower costs, effective planning techniques are essential for meeting these expectations and positioning utilities to adapt to future requirements. This course presents proven planning methods that benefit both the utility and its customers.
