Introduction to the Fundamentals of Power Systems: CPD Course
Introduction to the Fundamentals of Power Systems: CPD Course
Venue
Power, Energy & Control Engineering Discipline at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), University of Queensland (UQ) is pleased to announce a two-day face-to-face CPD course in Brisbane focusing on the fundamentals of power systems. This course will deliver the theoretical background information necessary along with the “hands-on” experience through industry standard simulation platforms and experimental test benches to understand the fundamentals of power systems. This course is aimed at engineers/professionals from both electrical and non-electrical background working on power systems, specifically for the personnel from industries aligned with power system planning, operation, management, and maintenance.
Key Outcomes
Learn the basics of power system like phasor diagrams, per-unit, three phase source and load connections, and power calculations.
- Understand the modelling of power system components like generator, transmission line, load, transformer, etc.
- Learn about the transmission line compensation techniques and distribution line voltage compensation techniques.
- Be informed of the Y-bus matrix and power system load flow analysis technique. • Understand the theory, modelling, and operation of synchronous machines.
Presenters
The presenters are the experts from the University of Queensland (UQ) and an industry expert from TNSP.
- Prof. Tapan Saha is a Professor of Electrical Engineering in the School of EECS at
- UQ and the leader of Power, Energy and Control Engineering discipline
- A/Prof. Ruifeng (Richard) Yan is an A/Prof. in the School of EECS at UQ and is an
- ARC Future fellow
- Dr. Feifei Bai is a Senior Lecturer in the School of EECS at UQ
- Dr. Ramesh Bonu is a postdoctoral research fellow with the School of EECS at UQ
- Dr. Jagath Fonseka is a Senior System Performance Engineer with Powerlink Queensland.
Who should attend
- Young engineers just starting out in their career in power system and engineers from other backgrounds.
- Consultants and designers in the power system, renewables, manufacturing, mining, industrial and infrastructure groups.
Practical Component
The course will have a half-day simulation (through industry standard software) and practical component at the end of each day, giving attendees the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with some of the concepts discussed during the course.
Cost
$1600 + GST per person
