Modeling & Analysis of Distribution Systems

This is the third course in TVPPA`s Professional Distribution Engineer (PDE) program. Combining the topics from the first two courses of the program, basics of distribution circuit analysis methods and the modeling of the various individual components of the distribution system, the class addresses system level studies. The main distribution system analysis problems of power flow and short circuits will be specifically addressed. The theoretical basis for power flow and short circuit calculations will be combined and applied to small problems suitable for hand calculations and numerical solutions of large systems using a popular commercial grade distribution analysis software package. Students must have completed Distribution System Components to enroll.
