Increase your knowledge and understanding of power generation systems and benefit from classroom training and product demonstrations on:

The Basics - Introduction to Electric Power Systems

• An overview of the elements of electric power systems and examples of simple modeling techniques used to describe them.
• Basic concepts used in control systems are explained to prepare for the further study of generator excitation control and engine speed control.

Engine Control and Protection

• Introduction to engine cranking control and engine protection as outlined by NFPA110, and as applied to engine-generator sets, includes the communication standard J1939.

Generator Control

• Voltage Regulation
• The basics of synchronous generator characteristics
• Voltage regulator function and what to consider when selecting an automatic voltage regulator for a generator
• An introduction to the terminology and concepts associated with the paralleling of generators and synchronizing the system.
• A discussion of the characteristics of paralleled generators and how to design your excitation system to meet typical generator set applications.
• The operation of a generator set in parallel with a utility network
• Static Excitation
• A study of the design of excitation systems to meet specifications of an application.
• Considerations for using a static exciter, including advantages such as performance and efficiency.
• A discussion about proper selection of static excitation system components and their
  effects on application.
• An understanding of how the digital controller is tuned, with pros and cons for each method.
• A discussion about the various types of power system instability and the effects of
  system impedance and excitation on stability.
• An explanation is offered regarding NERC policies as they affect the generator excitation
  system, including operating modes, excitation limiter verification and relay coordination.
• A discussion of the application of a synchronous motor

Protective Relaying and Distributed Generation

• Protective relay basics
• Overview of generator protection; ground fault, phase fault, reverse power, voltage balance, overexcitation, loss of field, and negative sequence.
• An explanation of the concepts of distributed generation
• A review of protection issues related to interconnecting Distributed Generation (DG) with the Power Grid.
• Overview of power transformer protection
