Professional Certificate of Competency in Electrical Power System Fundamentals for Non-Electrical Engineers
Certificate in Electrical Power System Fundamentals for Non-Electrical Engineers
This programme will focus on the building blocks of electrical engineering, the fundamentals of electrical design and integrating electrical engineering knowledge into other disciplines within an organisation. You will concentrate on best practice with unnecessary theory being minimised over the duration of this online course.
We will begin by reviewing basic electrical circuits and electrical laws, then will move onto the basic principles of electrical generation, transmission and distribution. We will then cover electrical distribution in considerably more detail. The course will then cover electrical measurements as applied to single phase and three phase systems. You will be exposed to earthing with a strong focus on safety issues, after which transformers will be examined with a particular focus on power transformers as used in the electrical distribution industry. This section of the course will conclude with coverage of power system components in terms of fuses, isolators and circuit breakers.
This online course will look at AC and DC motors, and review electrical lighting and illumination concepts followed by electrical heating in industry. We will discuss the impact of power electronics in the modern world, with a demonstration of the possible unpleasant harmonics arising from using this powerful technology. Power quality will be investigated, then we will move onto the important topics of electrical power system protection, electrical safety and customer installations. The course will cover load forecasting, and modern developments such as substation automation, industrial data communications, the smart grid and the controversial topic of carbon trading.
Through this course, participants will learn:
- The basics of electrical power engineering
- Basic electrical design rules
