• Accountability helps to ensure that every employee will take responsibility for their performance and behaviors, and continue to manage this responsibility. When we implement goals and communicate with one another, we can achieve powerful results. Building an accountable workplace requires strong teamwork and collaboration. Every team member must have a strong understanding of the values of the company and recognize the importance of their dedication, in order to attain success. 

      This course will provide you with informative tools and practical strategies that can be used to help empower the team to work toward achieving the benefits of accountability. Accountable employees will fuel performance and productivity, and generate an enhanced workplace.

Description
This course provides the theoretical background required to model and analyze large power systems. It includes modelling of transmission lines, generations and loads for steady-state and transient conditions, balanced and unbalanced power system fault analysis and transient stability studies. In addition, this course aims at developing a detailed understanding of the power system analysis tools applied to the operation, design and investigation of modern electric power systems in normal and under symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults.
 
Objective
The main objective of the course is to be able to perform load flow, short-circuit and transient stability analyses in normal steady-state operation and under symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault conditions in an interconnected system. Power system analysis is important for planning future expansion of power systems as well as in determining the best operation of existing systems.
 
Target Audience
This course is intended for transmission and distribution engineers, planning and operation engineers, power system managers, consultant engineers, or personnel involved in the design and analysis of three-phase electrical network systems. No previous electrical system analysis experience is required.
 
Upon successful completion of this course, the participants will have reliably demonstrated the ability to:
  • Get an overview of the power network system and its changing landscape, and understand the nature of the modern power system, including the behavior of the constituent components and sub-systems
  • Apply load flow, short-circuit and transient stability analysis tools to an electrical power network and interpret the results of the analysis
  • Analyze a power network system under both balanced and unbalanced fault conditions, and demonstrate an awareness of the methods used for monitoring network abnormalities based on operating conditions and status changes
  • Analyze the transient stability of a single machine/infinite bus system using both analytical and time simulation methods
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the factors which determine transient stability in both single machine and multi-machine systems, and
  • Understand the role of protection in modern power systems and the operation of a range of protection schemes.

Each participant will receive a complete set of course notes and handouts that will serve as informative references.


The Soils Engineering for Practical Applications Workshop is a basic geotechnical course which will provide practical knowledge for both generalists and those needs to upgrade their knowledge in geotechnical design field. Each theoretical concept presented will be linked to practical applications in the geotechnical engineering area.

The purpose of this workshop is to familiarize participants with the application of basic soil mechanics principles to the design and analysis of simple geotechnical structures including: earth works , bearing capacity of shallow foundations, soil retaining structures and slope stability. In addition the theory of consolidation and practice of site or ground investigation will be discussed.

The course objective is to impart to the participants the necessary knowledge and skills to determine the minimum level of geotechnical effort needed on an engineering project and /or how to deal with geotechnical information/personnel on a given project.

The participants will develop knowledge and appreciation of geotechnical activities in all project phases and understanding of different soils and how they behave.

No prior knowledge of the subject is required; the course content follows a simple starting level into advanced level that will be built step by step in class. The concepts presented in each lesson are concise and specifically directed at a particular practical operation in the geotechnical design process.

Recommendations are presented on how to efficiently layout borings, how to minimize approach embankment settlement, and how to transmit design information properly to construction. Basic examples are included in several lessons for hands-on knowledge.
