Distribution Automation Training - This 12-hour live online instructor-led course focuses on how to Increase the hosting capacity of distributed generation in power distribution systems as a key low-carbon solution to help meet the aggressive greenhouse gas emission reduction targets in the energy sector.
The deployment of distributed generation technologies is creating a paradigm shift of the way energy is produced, traded, distributed, and utilized. Although such shift is unparalleled, it is accompanied with serious accommodation challenges in existing outdating/aging power distribution systems infrastructure. Thanks to Distribution Automation, one of the smart grid pillars, that offers new digital technologies to be integrated within existing utility grids in order to substantially improve the overall efficiency and reliability of the network as well as facilitating seamless accommodation of distributed generation.
This 12-Hour Distribution Automation training course provides participants with a practical understanding of energy consumption, power distribution systems operation and control, the technical challenges that power utilities currently face to accommodate distributed generation in their distribution networks, and the most recent interconnection requirement standards of distributed generation in North America. The course also provides participants with the required knowledge to understand, assess, and analyze the technical and economical needs of adopting Distribution Automation technologies to mitigate such technical challenges and enhance the operation and reliability of power distribution systems.
This course covers topics related to the transformation of power distribution systems from their conventional structure with unidirectional power flow towards smart distribution grids.
After participating in this Distribution Automation Training course, participants will be able to:
