Generator Excitation Systems

In this Generator Excitation Systems training course, each participant will receive an electronic copy of the comprehensive training course notes. The presenter will outline and discuss the topics using computer displays and videos. This Gulf Rowad Electrical Engineering training course is designed to have an interactive format to maximize delegate participation. Questions and answers are encouraged throughout and at the daily sessions.

Case studies and examples will be discussed in problem solving workshop sessions. This gives participants the opportunity to discuss with other delegates and the presenter their specific problems and appropriate solutions. Only minimum note taking is encouraged to ensure maximum delegate attention during this Gulf Rowad training course.

At the end of this Gulf Rowad training course, you will learn to:

• Elaborate on different types of power system generation
• Discuss operations of the steam and gas turbines
• Examine different types excitation systems
• Explore different types of switch gear associated with generator systems
• Identify automatic voltage regulating techniques and governors
• Describe troubleshooting techniques and online monitoring

This Generator Excitation Systems training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Electrical Engineers
• Electrical Supervisors
• Electrical Technicians
• Electrical Project Engineers
• Electrical Power Engineers

Organisational Impact

Upon completion of the Generator Excitation Systems training course the organizational impact would be:

• Current practices onsite can be reviewed (and changed) to bring the workplace up to current standards
• Engineers and Technicians can gain knowledge to apply in their individual work roles so that they can understand current procedures and practices, should their work role not be a fully ‘hands-on’ role
• Updating of technical skills and Standards from previous learning
• Technicians, Engineers and Managers will be able to apply current work practices, for compliance with legislation
• All candidates will be made aware of upcoming changes to practices and legislation, so that they can be pro-active in their work roles and implement the changes quickly and efficiently
• Candidates can progress onto further Power related training course, which Gulf Rowad can provide
