Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
The primary objectives of Power System
Planning and Operation are to minimize system outages, Load Interruptions and
Equipment damage under Emergency Conditions. These goals are becoming more
difficult to achieve because of the increasing pressures resulting from fast
system demand growth and increased system complexity. There are strong
influences to reduce operating and maintenance cost and to work equipment
harder and longer.
Power System behavior under Emergency Conditions, as well during restoration processes, depends on its characteristics as related to real and reactive power balance, and the installed control and protective systems. The restoration process is also a function of pre-disturbance conditions, post-disturbance status and post-disturbance target systems. Therefore, the understanding of the factors involved in power system collapse and in the restoration procedure is crucial to the proper operation of Modern Power Systems.
The first focus of the course is on all the major issues associated with system restoration, including those associated with system characteristics and operating conditions. It is argued that restoration planning and training is an ongoing activity that involves system operators, planners, protection staff and trainers. The second focus is on implementing some of the principles gained in hands-on environment using the EPRI Operator Training Simulator. The students will be asked to carry out several “scenarios” involving restoration from a partial blackout, as well as, complete black start. The principles of top-down, versus bottom-up approaches will be practiced and evaluated using a realistic power system model.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- How to organize and train the System Restoration Team in your Company.
- How to develop a Restoration Plan for different pre‐disturbance operating Condition.
- How to carry out a Restoration Sequence without causing unacceptable voltage and frequency swings, both in theory and also using the Operator Training Simulator.
- How to set priorities in carrying out the Restoration Sequence.
- How to calculate the restoration duration given the time delays inherent in each action and operating order.
- How to avoid common mistakes experienced in the industry.
- How to maintain and implement the comprehensive system normalization procedures covering partial and total system shutdowns and Restoration approaches.

COURSE METHODOLOGY
Our Training programs are implemented by combining the participants' academic knowledge and practical practice (30% theoretical / 70% practical activities).
At The end of the training program, Participants are involved in practical workshop to show their skills in applying what they were trained for. A detailed report is submitted to each participant and the training department in the organization on the results of the participant's performance and the return on training. Our programs focus on exercises, case studies, and individual and group presentations.
Since 2001, we have been pioneering the training field in the middle east, we managed to unlock potential and help individuals, teams and organisations to be the best that they can be with our full and integrated solutions.
