Basic Power Generator Distribution & Emergency Generation Systems
On request · English or French · Canada or Dubai
The course concentrates on the generation and electricity supply aspects of large interconnected industrial electrical power systems.The course is non-mathematical and all exercises are designed to draw on candidates existing experience and the newly acquired knowledge of system operation that the course provides. In order to provide practical awareness throughout the course a demonstration of an actual AVR is included. In addition, manufacturer's training software is demonstrated and provided for candidates' private study.
Typical audience
