What does this programme cover?

Distribution system planning in many electricity utilities still reacts to overloaded feeders and connection requests one scheme at a time, so reinforcement arrives late, losses and interruptions climb and capital is spent where the loudest complaint is rather than where risk is highest. This Core Concept course gives utility planning engineers a structured method to forecast demand by customer class and zone, apply security and voltage criteria, study feeder and primary substation capacity, plan for reliability, distributed energy resources and EV charging, and rank investment. Participants build a 10-Year Distribution Expansion Plan for a service area.
