Losses in Electrical Power System

About this course

Based on my 20 years of practical experience in the field of electrical power substations, along with my work with various engineering consulting firms in designing medium-voltage electrical distribution networks for critical projects that require precise electrical calculations—and holding a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Electrical Power and Machines Engineering titled *"Identification and Detection of Power Quality Problems Using Advanced AI Techniques (LSTM)"*—this course has been developed using top engineering software that bridges the gap between theoretical academic knowledge and practical real-world applications in extra-high voltage (EHV) and high-voltage (HV) transformer substations, as well as medium- and low-voltage distribution networks.

This unique approach to teaching and course development was specifically designed to suit all engineering and technical levels, ranging from engineering and technical institute students to highly experienced engineers specializing in electrical power and distribution systems, particularly those focused on power loss studies in power substations and distribution networks.

The course is delivered in a practical manner, keeping theoretical concepts concise while placing maximum emphasis on visual illustrations and real-world practical explanations. This ensures a direct link between academic theory and field implementation upon completing the course.

This course is closely aligned with Electrical Power Systems and Electrical Power Distribution Systems, covering the following topics:

* Understanding electrical energy loss (Losses in Electrical Power Systems) according to international standards such as IEEE * The impact of power losses on power utility companies (Generation / Transmission / Distribution) * Methods for mitigating losses in electrical power systems * Required measures to improve system efficiency and reduce loss percentages * The difference between Technical Losses and Non-Technical or Commercial Losses * How to calculate the cost of electrical energy consumption across different voltage levels * How to calculate the cost of electrical energy losses across different voltage levels * An overview of the components of an Electrical Power System * The difference between Electrical Power and Energy * Skin Effect losses and their hazards related to equipment temperature rise * Proximity Effect losses, their associated risks, and mitigation methods * Losses in Generation * Corona Effect phenomenon and associated losses * Losses in HVDC transmission systems * Losses in Transformers * Losses in Transmission Lines * Losses in Overhead Transmission Lines (OHTL) * Losses in Underground Cables * Power factor correction capacitors and their role in loss reduction * Losses in Distribution Networks * Harmonics and their impact on increasing loss percentages
