Power and Electricity Masterclass

Electricity is produced at power plants and travels through an intricate network, often referred to as the grid, which includes substations, transformers, and power lines that link electricity producers with consumers. To ensure reliability and facilitate commercial operations, most local grids are interconnected, forming larger, more robust networks that improve the coordination and management of electricity distribution.

Electric power generation, transmission, and distribution fall under the utilities sector. This sector encompasses all electric generating facilities that rely on fossil fuels such as coal, oil, or natural gas, as well as renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.

Transmission typically occurs through overhead lines, except in urban areas where underground cables are used. Power transformers are crucial equipment for efficiently transmitting large volumes of electricity. The distribution process can be carried out either overhead or underground and involves various control, protection, and switching devices. This Power and Electricity Masterclass training course will provide an overview of different types of electrical power generation, operations of power transformers, circuit breakers, and protection relays.

This training course will feature:

• Conventional and unconventional method of power generation
• The smart grid system
• Overhead transmission lines methodology
• Operations and functions of power transformers
• Electricity distribution layout
• Protection, control and switching devices at distribution level

By the end of this 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

The 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
