Understanding and mastering distribution voltage regulations is essential for any engineer involved in electric power system operation. Growing load demands and changing equipment applications also affect distribution voltage regulation.

The Cooper Power Systems/Missouri University of Science & Technology three-day Distribution Voltage Regulation Workshop offers the training you need to apply voltage regulation equipment such as capacitors and regulators. Theory is put into practice. You will learn how to solve real world problems facing you outside the classroom, and receive the hands-on training that makes the concepts concrete.

In Three Days You Will Learn

• Fundamentals of distribution system voltage regulation
• Capacitor and regulator operational characteristics
• Protection of capacitors and regulators
• Economics of voltage control
• Capacitor applications
• Power factor control
• Harmonics and ferroresonance on the system
• Coordination of regulator and capacitor operation
• Trends in voltage regulation

Attendees
Any utility, industrial and consulting engineer involved in distribution voltage regulation and power factor correction on electric power systems will benefit. The course is designed for practicing engineers familiar with distribution equipment, philosophy and operation.

Instructors
All instructors are degreed engineers with practical knowledge and industry experience in distribution overcurrent protection.

Instructor teams are made up of experts from industry and the academic world. These individuals have many years of experience in power engineering applications or power engineering education. All instructors possess advanced degrees in electrical engineering with specialization in electric power systems.

Workshop Format

• Questions and discussion
• Demonstrations
• Problem solving using demonstration equipment
• Lecture

Important Benefits
Other workshops cannot provide the combination of experienced engineers, hands-on learning, technical information, a comprehensive reference manual and custom software.

Cooper Power Systems and Missouri University of Science & Technology offers the unique combination of real world, everyday problem-solving skills, and instructors with extensive hands-on field experience.

The comprehensive reference manual, specially prepared for the Distribution Voltage Regulation Workshop, is a thorough, professional resource written by Cooper Power Systems engineers with practical information to help you accomplish your day-to-day objectives. The Appendices include articles and papers on capacitors and regulators.

Travel and Lodging
Participants are responsible for travel and living expenses and making their own reservations. Lunches and refreshments at breaks are included in the fee.

Course Units
This course awards 21 PDHs (Professional Development Hours), equivalent to 2.1 CEUs.

In-House Training
