Emergency Power Supplies

 

Introduction:

The objective of this course is to teach the basic facts about ensuring reliable power supply to critical systems using various available options. The solutions can vary from the simple diesel generating set as standby sources to superconducting energy sag support systems. Also, newer technologies like fuel cells are now available and are fast becoming mainstream solutions. This course will discuss how to save dollars by finding the right solution to your needs so that you invest just what is needed and where it is needed. This course will also briefly look at the design issues involved in planning the distribution of emergency power.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Understand the level of failure-proofing that specific equipment may require
  • Know the various available options of critical power supply systems
  • Evaluate these options objectively
  • Specify the solution that is the best and most economical for your needs
  • Design a suitable power distribution system for emergency power
  • Manage the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the distribution system
