Course Description:

Generation power plants are the principle elements in defining networks voltages and frequencies, which are reflected into loads performances and efficiencies. Controlling the generation power plants output voltages and frequencies guarantee stable and reliable system operation. Both corrective and preventive control techniques are to be used in power plants, which are generating hundreds or thousands of megawatts all over the hour.

Course Goal:

To enhance the delegate knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to understand the whole control system of voltage and frequency in power plants, in its connected networks and at load centres.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course the participant will be able to:

1. Be familiar with power systems.
2. Understand the symmetrical three-phase power system.
