Course Overview:
This four-day course is one of three events in the Distribution Engineering series designed to teach critical concepts and skills in distribution engineering. The other two sessions in the series are Session 2 - Overcurrent Protection (a two-day class) and Session 3 - Overvoltage Protection (a 90-minute webinar). Combined with a short project, those who complete all three courses receive a certificate from Hi-Line Engineering for this training series.
This first session in the series is a practical and skills-focused course covering engineering planning from analyzing a computer model of a distribution system to documenting a planning study. Bring your engineering questions from your utility to this course for discussion and solutions.
The following will be covered in this course:
- An overview of the preparation of a system model
- Setting planning criteria
- Projecting future loads
- Instruction and discussion on solving system problems such as low voltage, lagging power factor, and excessive load current
- Using present worth analysis to help evaluate and justify engineered solutions to problems
- Methods for factoring reliability into the planning process
- Class problems and the justification of the solutions
Please bring a laptop and calculator to the course.
