INTRODUCTION

The continuity of Electrical Power Supply is very important to the consumers specially, for industrial sector where the curtail of electrical power supply is costly.

Electrical systems are subjected to several external & internal influences like weather conditions, lightning phenomenon, pollution, insulation failure, temperature rise, etc., these influences cause abnormal operational condition, which could lead to voltage and frequency variations and feeder trips, brown out or black out of electrical system, and sometimes, may lead to equipment damage or system failure.

Performance and characteristics of electrical system configurations are vital factor in reducing or increasing the effect of faults on the system as earthling system, switch gear, protective relays, active and reactive power generation, etc.

This course discusses electrical system faults and elements of the system that affect its behavior during the fault The cause also will suggest measures to mitigate the problems that would arise.

Many utilities need this course which studies the influences of the above mentioned events on the electrical networks and their affect on the continuity of electrical power supply and how mitigate these problems.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

To know the major faults which the electrical networks encounter cause curtail of electrical supply and how to mitigate it by means of:

  • Understanding the Grounding System of generation, Transmission and Distribution Networks and how it affects the electrical quantities, short circuit level and protection system.
  • Understanding the causes of Voltage Deviations and its effect on auxiliaries of generators, industrial loads and the stability of Electrical Power Systems.
  • Knowing the reasons of the shortage of active and reactive power in electrical networks and its effect on the electrical quantities.
  • Understanding the effect of environmental conditions on the electrical equipment
  • Understanding the abnormal phenomena, which affect the electrical networks.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is intended for Engineers & supervisors who work in transmission, distribution, maintenance, operation, control and analysis of Utilities & Industrial Electrical Networks
