Power Analytics' Advanced Power Systems Modeling course is a three-day, hands-on workshop that extends the basic skills taught in Power Analytics’ Power Systems Modeling Essentials Course. In this course, users will develop even more extensive skills for building complex power systems models, as well as applying more sophisticated forms of analysis to ensure the reliability and energy efficiency of the finished facility.

By attending this three-day workshop, the attendees will learn:

Power System Modeling concepts, System Analysis: per unit method, symmetrical components, Short Circuit studies, methods IEEE and IEC, Circuit Duty, Switching equipment capabilities, Protective Device Evaluation, Protective Device Coordination (PDC), Power quality Investigation by using Paladin Designbase programs, Dynamics and fast transients. Numerical examples are provided and step by step solutions are given.

Short Circuit studies: scope, methods IEEE and IEC, input data, output report, organizing a short circuit report and connecting the report to the project, protective device evaluation (PDE), sliding faults
