COURSE OVERVIEW:

The modern electrical grid and industrial facilities are powered by a complex array of conversion and generation equipment designed to ensure power quality and availability. This course provides a technical exploration of the primary assets that facilitate the transformation, conversion, and emergency supply of electrical energy. Participants will explore the engineering principles of static and rotating machinery, focusing on how these components interact to maintain a stable and resilient power network.

The scope of this training addresses the full lifecycle of critical electrical equipment, from fundamental operating theory to practical maintenance and troubleshooting. It covers the technical nuances of electromagnetic induction in transformers, the power electronics of inverters and rectifiers, and the mechanical-electrical conversion in diesel generators. The curriculum provides a systematic focus on the integration of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and battery systems into the wider facility infrastructure to protect sensitive digital and industrial loads.

Coverage includes the interpretation of equipment specifications and the application of maintenance protocols to prevent premature failure. Attendees will learn to manage the thermal and electrical stresses that affect the lifespan of power electronics and rotating components. By combining theoretical electrical principles with practical asset management strategies, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to oversee and maintain the core equipment that defines modern power reliability.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain the operating principles of power and distribution transformers.
• Identify different transformer cooling methods and their applications.
• Describe the function of rectifiers in converting AC to DC power.
• Analyze the operation of inverters for variable speed drives and renewables.
• Evaluate the architecture and operation of double-conversion UPS systems.
• Identify the main components of a diesel power-generating set.
• Perform routine maintenance and inspection on battery storage systems.
• Troubleshoot common faults in power conversion and generation units.
• Interpret nameplate data and equipment performance curves.
• Implement effective cooling and ventilation for power electronics.
• Manage the synchronization and load-sharing of multiple generators.
• Apply safety procedures for working on high-energy storage systems.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Maintenance Electricians, Facility Managers, Power Plant Operators, and Technical Supervisors responsible for critical power equipment.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
