INTRODUCTION
This course provides an up-to-date description of the restoration methodologies and implementation strategies practised internationally. Participants will learn how to identify precursors for blackouts and will practice the steps necessary to prevent them from occurring.
The course will concentrate on structures of blackouts, uncertainty factors, modelling and evaluation tools, proactive and restorative measures, and service restoration.
-
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to:
- Analyse power quality
- Gain a comprehensive knowledge of power system blackouts and prevention
- Determine the blackout concerns and review recent blackouts, its causes and lessons learned from these incidents
- List methods used to improve power quality
- Identify the various instability mechanisms and transients and analyse the cold inrush current effects on blackout
- Discuss analysis concepts when examining potential power quality and interruption issues
- Assess power outages for potential risks
- Understand how power outages can start and cascade
- Apply procedures to ensure power continuity
- Recognise the role of induction motors in triggering blackouts
