Context:

This two-day IEEE Distinguished Lecturer (DL) program has been designed for practicing engineers (young or experienced), managers, students and technical personnel interested in different aspects of advanced Electric Power Distribution Systems as applied to Electric Utility, Power and Energy Industry. The main objective of the workshop is to introduce the basic tools required for all power systems calculations and utilized in solving design problems.  The primary focus of this DL program is on the medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) power systems with some references to the sub-transmission system. It is assumed that participants will have some basic knowledge of fundamentals of electric power systems.  Emphasis is given on hand calculations and estimations.  Numerous real world design problems will be solved during the entire workshop. 
  
Prof. Dr. P.K. Sen will discuss the “big picture” and this is designed for all engineering, managerial and operation and maintenance personnel. This DL program is absolutely essential for all young practicing power system engineers, utility and non-utility alike, consulting firms, manufacturing and process plant and designed to facilitate in educating students in advanced power engineering curriculum.

Day 1 (Date: - 30th Dec 2011) 

  • Scope of Electric Power Distribution Engineering and Characteristics of Power Distribution Systems from both Utility and Industrial / Commercial Users Perspective
  • Power System Fundamentals & Design Tools
  • Conceptual Design of Overhead and Underground Distribution Systems and Industrial Plants
  • Component selection (Breakers, Shunt Capacitor etc)
  • Reliability, Safety  aspects in Design
  • Quick Cost Estimation
  • Fault Calculations

Day 2 (31st Dec 2011)

    • Performance Evaluation and Application: Transformers, Shunt Capacitor and Static VAR, Overhead Distribution Line and Underground Cables, Voltage Regulators, Distributed Generation etc.
    • Grounding of Power Systems
    • Harmonics in Power Distribution Systems: Causes, Effects and Mitigation
    • Design of an Industrial Power Distribution System
    • Power Systems Protection
    • Step-by-Step Procedure in Protection Coordination and Design: Case Studies
    • Emergency Power and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
