Course on Distributed Generation
The large range of topics covered provides the breadth, from the principal prime movers, to generators, their control and protection, through to connection to the distribution network in compliance with Engineering Recommendation G.59, a copy of which will be provided to delegates.
The depth is provided through four case studies, which will cover in detail fault calculations, protection and earthing of generators and generator sizing. Industrial speakers will present examples of actual installations for each of the principal prime mover technologies; CHP, wind and diesel.
This event will provide an opportunity to undertake continued professional development for new and experienced engineers alike.
