Course overview:

Electric load forecasting (ELF) is a vital process in the planning of the electricity industry and plays a crucial role in electric capacity scheduling and power systems management and, therefore, it has attracted increasing academic interest

This Load Forecasting and System Upgrade training course will use practical and theoretical exercises concerning installation of load forecasting study analysis and system upgrade of electrical power system. It will also include the practical and theoretical exercises concerning load shedding analysis.

By the end of this training, 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
    • Apply specification focus of key types of electrical equipment
    • Analyze and design MCCs, Cable Systems, including specification & maintenance requirements
    • Develop and understand real and reactive power scheduling of each power plant
    • Be competent with solving problems of economic operating dispatch
    • Develop and apply the operation constrains for load forecasting and upgrade
    • Develop short/medium/long term load forecasting

Targeted Audience:

    • Planners and Analysts Engineers
    • Electrical Engineers
    • Electrical Supervisor
    • load dispatch center Engineers and supervisors
    • Electrical Distribution Engineers
    • Operation & maintenance engineers

IN HOUSE AND ONLINE TRAINING

in

While both In-House and Online training can present with cost-effectiveness and time-efficacy, there are some very specific differences between in-house courses and those based online.
The demand for additional courses by individuals or groups of people is increasing. Still, it depends entirely on the preferences of a person what type of training he or she wants to receive. Online courses and in-house training carry some similarities but they are considered to exhibit some very pivotal differences too. Despite that, both types of learning can be really beneficial for attendees.
