Course Description
This 5 days seminar is designed to provide excellent understanding on both a theoretical and practical level for power generators. The workshop starts at a basic level, to ease the engineer and technician into the perhaps forgotten art of studying, and provide a refresher to those who are more familiar with the basic topics covered.
This course focuses mainly on the operation and maintenance of Generation equipment with reference to auxiliary equipment necessary for its operation.
The course covers generator theory, operation, protection and application, and troubleshooting. Different excitation systems, prime movers and generator earthing systems generator voltage and frequency control are included. In addition condition monitoring and maintenance are explained. This course is a must for anyone who is involved in the selection, operation, protection and applications, or maintenance of generators.
An overview of power system layouts, configurations, faults and the protection scheme requirements for the detection and coordinated clearance of these faults will be covered in more details. This course deals with protection systems from a practical perspective, and includes important functional aspects such as testing and coordination of protection systems. It is specially designed for industries and utilities, which depend on proper system protection for operational efficiency and minimizing damage to equipment.
