Power System Analysis and Load Flow Studies

Planning and operating a stable power network depends on understanding how power flows and how the system responds to changes and faults. This course teaches the analysis methods behind load flow, fault and stability studies used by African utilities and large industry. Delegates learn to model networks and interpret results for sound planning decisions.
