The Power Distribution System
Electricity is indispensable for social and economic development of a nation and providing it in the economical and secured way to urban and rural consumers is one of challenging tasks. Delivery of electricity to the end users requires efficient and reliable distribution system. So far, the growth of power distribution networks, especially in developing countries, has been in relatively unplanned directions due to various economic and political reasons. This has resulted in lengthy low voltage feeders, increase in losses and voltage drop, etc. Only recently, power utilities have started paying more attention to well planned expansion and better reconfiguration of the distribution network. Also as electric power technologies have advanced so rapidly, there is a great need of training and education on emerging issues on power distribution system, such as applications of FACT devices (so-called Custom Power) and Distributed Generators (DG) to distribution networks. The in-depth knowledge on management, planning and future trends of power distribution system is essential to policy makers, planners, managers, academicians, etc.
The main objective of this training workshop is to familiarize participants to some of the recent concepts and development of power distribution network.
The participants will be given the opportunity to attend the lectures delivered by eminent experts in this area and discussions related to power distribution system. Also it will be a great opportunity to share related experiences of participants from different utilities of different countries.
