The Complete Electrical Program in IEEE Standards, Power System Stability and Interpersonal Skills

This Course is intended to promote the use of sound engineering principles in electrical standards specially IEEE for power systems in buildings. It is hoped that it will alert the design, and contractor engineers to the many problems that can be encountered in designing and executing electrical power systems, starting from basic requirements, calculation methods, execution precautions ending with inspection and testing for all electrical systems like power configuration and estimation, lighting, grounding, and protection. The course will also act as a guide through the myriad of codes, standards, and practices published by the IEEE Standard and other

Professional associations and governmental bodies. During the course, an intensive investigation of the above­explained subjects will be conducted to the trainees.

Upon completion of the course the engineer/technician will be fulfilled and understand the IEEE as a standard for electric power systems in buildings. The course will be conducted through lectures, presentations, and practical examples through the different sessions


This course will provide a comprehensive overview of fundamental concepts on voltage stability, such as the significance of reactive power management and voltage

Control. Modelling and analysis techniques to identify potential voltage stability problems and solutions during the planning, design, and operation of power systems will

also be presented. The course will also cover in detail various technologies available today to prevent voltage stability on power systems, including static var

compensators and inverter­based dynamic compensators. Case studies of actual voltage instability problems and equipment solutions will also be presented. The impact

of wind generation on system voltage stability, interconnect requirements, reactive power and voltage control equipment solutions will also be covered.
