COURSE OVERVIEW:

The transition toward decentralized energy and the integration of high-inertia renewables has fundamentally changed the landscape of power system engineering. This course provides a technical deep dive into the architecture of modern grids, focusing on the sophisticated modeling techniques required to maintain stability in a non-linear environment. Participants will explore the mathematical foundations of power flow and the engineering challenges of managing bidirectional energy streams.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of system analysis, from steady-state load flow to complex transient stability studies. It covers the technical nuances of "Digital Twins" in power systems, the modeling of inverter-based resources (IBRs), and the implementation of Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS). The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the use of simulation software to predict system behavior under various contingency scenarios (N-1 and N-2).

Coverage includes the implementation of advanced problem-solving methodologies for voltage collapse, frequency excursions, and harmonic distortion. Attendees will learn to utilize "Phasor Measurement Units" (PMU) for real-time grid visualization and to design mitigation strategies for sub-synchronous resonance. By combining computational modeling with practical grid management strategies, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to design and operate resilient, modern power networks.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Define the characteristics of "Smart Grids" and modern power architectures.
• Model synchronous generators and inverter-based resources for system studies.
• Perform steady-state "Load Flow" analysis using Newton-Raphson methods.
• Execute "Short Circuit" analysis according to IEC 60909 standards.
• Analyze "Transient Stability" and determine critical clearing times.
• Model the impact of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) on grid stability.
• Utilize "Digital Twins" for real-time power system simulation.
• Solve complex "Voltage Stability" problems using P-V and V-Q curves.
• Identify and mitigate "Harmonic Resonance" in industrial power systems.
• Design "Automated Load Shedding" schemes based on frequency decay.
• Interpret data from Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) for grid health.
• Develop "Contingency Plans" based on N-1 and N-2 reliability criteria.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Power System Engineers, Grid Planning Specialists, Consultants, and Senior Electrical Engineers involved in system design.

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.
