COURSE OVERVIEW:

The reliability of critical infrastructure depends on the seamless operation of standby generation and emergency power architectures. This course provides a technical exploration of the engineering principles governing Diesel and Gas-powered generators, focusing on their role as the final line of defense against grid instability. Participants will explore the mechanics of "Automatic Transfer Switches" (ATS), learning how to manage the transition from utility power to emergency sources without compromising sensitive electronic loads.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of emergency power components, including Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), battery storage, and prime movers. It covers the technical nuances of "Load Bank Testing," focusing on the prevention of "Wet Stacking" and the verification of transient response during sudden load application. The curriculum provides a detailed focus on the integration of these systems within "Tier-Rated" data centers and healthcare facilities, where downtime is not an option.

Coverage includes the implementation of rigorous maintenance protocols and the troubleshooting of excitation and governor control systems. Attendees will learn to utilize diagnostic tools for "Fuel Quality" analysis and "Battery Impedance" testing to ensure start-up reliability. By combining mechanical engine theory with electrical distribution logic, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to design and maintain resilient emergency power systems that meet international safety codes.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Define the classifications of Emergency, Standby, and Prime power systems.
• Identify the mechanical components of the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE).
• Explain the role of the "Excitation System" in maintaining output voltage.
• Configure "Automatic Transfer Switch" (ATS) logic and transition timers.
• Design "Uninterruptible Power Supply" (UPS) architectures for critical loads.
• Calculate "Sizing" requirements for generators based on motor starting kVA.
• Execute "Load Bank Testing" to verify engine performance and cooling.
• Perform "Battery Impedance" and "Discharge" testing for start-up units.
• Implement "Fuel Polishing" and storage protocols for long-term readiness.
• Troubleshoot "AVR" (Automatic Voltage Regulator) and "Governor" faults.
• Manage "Paralleling" logic and "Synchronizing" of multiple generator units.
• Conduct "Periodic Inspections" according to NFPA 110 standards.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Facilities Managers, Electrical Maintenance Technicians, MEP Engineers, and Data Center Operations Staff.

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.
