Providing the participants ‎ with skills to perform load flow analysis of power system using DIgSILENT software.‎
Providing the participants ‎ with skills to perform fault analysis of power system using DIgSILENT software.‎
Enabling participants to understand the basic components of a protection system and how to model the protection system using DIgSILENT software.‎
Providing the participants with the necessary tools and skills to carry out relay co-ordination analysis for variety of protection schemes using DIgSILENT software.‎

Who Should Attend :

The short course is targeted at new electrical engineers, senior electrical engineers, and practicing electrical engineers who are involved in the area of electrical power engineering planning, operation, protection, or its relevant disciplines. However, the course should also be of interest to other electrical engineers who wish to develop their knowledge on using DIgSILENT power system analysis and simulation Software.

Computer Applications :
DIgSILENT Power Factory simulation and analysis software will be used extensively during the course. This software is the leading high-end tool for applications in generation, transmission, distribution and industrial systems. It integrates smoothly into any GIS, DMS or EMS supporting open system standards and enables the user to carry out balanced and unbalanced power flow. It has many features including fault analysis, harmonics, frequency scans, stability, EMT simulations, protection simulation and co-ordination, reliability, Maintenance Schedules, static and dynamic voltage stability, power dispatch, state estimation, optimal capacitor placement, cable sizing, built-in automation interface, interfaces for GIS and SCADA integration, and PSS/E compatibility. Trainees will have hands on experience with the software and will be solving exercises using PowerFactory. All protection schemes including Overcurrent, Directional, Differential, and Distance protection schemes will be modelled and simulated using the software.

Course Instructor :
Graduated with First Class Honours B.Eng. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from University of Manchester, UK. He then received his MBA degree from Edinburgh Business School, UK. Then he completed his M.Sc. in Electrical Power Engineering from University of Manchester Institute for Science and Technology (UMIST), UK. Dr. Ali completed his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Manchester, UK, in 2001.He worked for 12 years in oil and gas industry in major companies including Petroleum Development Oman and Shell UK as Senior Project Manager. He then joined Sultan Qaboos University as faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
