Inertia and Frequency Control In Modern Power Systems and The Impact Of Renewables On Power System Inertia
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course will increase the efficiency of electrical power generations, transmission and distribution it also lower carbon footprint for a greener world. It includes the ‘green generation’ of electricity by means of renewable energy. In addition, the introduction and merits of the Smart Grids and Micro Grids are also discussed in the course. The determination and control of fault levels, active power, reactive power, voltage and frequency are essential in a modern electrical power system. Power quality issues are also addressed by modern mitigation techniques.
