Economic Dispatch & Grid Stability Constraints in Power System

Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,500

Overview

This highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This Economic Dispatch & Grid Stability Constraints in Power System training course gives you sufficient knowledge about generator dynamics, and concept of stability in power system operation. Also, you will learn how electricity is generated in generators from an AC current supply and what intermediate steps are needed to deliver the generated power to the customers with high reliability.

Learning Objectives

• Apply and gain an in-depth knowledge on economic dispatch of power plants
• Identify the characteristics of power generation units and introduce them to the economic dispatch of thermal units and the methods of solution
• Discuss the transmission system effects, unit commitment and the generation with limited energy supply
• Implement the production cost models and be able to adapt the control of generation
• Use new techniques for solving old problems and new problem areas that are arising from changes in the system development patterns, regulatory structures, and economics
• Solve complicated problems, involving both economic analysis and network analysis and illustrate the solving techniques with relatively simple problems

What do Al-Khobraa electrical and power engineering courses cover?

The portfolio covers power generation, transmission and distribution, low- and high-voltage systems, power system protection and relay coordination, switchgear and transformers, motors and drives, SCADA and smart grids, and electrical safety and arc-flash control.

Who should attend an electrical or power engineering course?

These courses suit electrical engineers and technicians, substation and grid operators, protection and control specialists, maintenance supervisors, plant and facilities engineers, and utility or contractor staff working on generation, transmission or distribution assets.

How long are electrical and power engineering courses, and where are they held?

Most Al-Khobraa electrical and power engineering courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.

What certificate will I receive?

Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.

Can electrical and power engineering training be delivered in-house for our team?

Yes. Any Al-Khobraa electrical and power engineering course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team.
