COURSE OVERVIEW:

Digital analysis is the essential tool for modern electrical engineers, enabling the simulation and prediction of system behavior under complex operating conditions. This course provides a comprehensive framework for utilizing advanced software suites such as ETAP or SKM to perform steady-state and transient analysis of power networks. Participants will explore the mathematical models that represent generators, transformers, and lines, learning how digital twins are used to optimize system performance and ensure regulatory compliance.

The scope of this training addresses the technical nuances of load flow, short-circuit, and motor starting studies within a digital environment. It covers the simulation of protective device coordination and the calculation of arc flash incident energy levels based on digital system models. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on data integrity, teaching participants how to validate field data before inputting it into complex simulation algorithms to ensure the accuracy of the results.

Coverage includes the interpretation of digital reports to inform critical engineering decisions, such as equipment sizing and harmonic mitigation. Attendees will learn to perform "What-If" contingency analysis and evaluate the impact of renewable energy integration on grid stability. By mastering the transition from physical electrical parameters to digital simulations, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to conduct comprehensive power system studies that enhance reliability and optimize infrastructure investment.
