Syllabus: | Power systems stability - modelling of system components, AVR's, governors, generators, turbines, motors, loads, exciters and stabilisers. Critical clearing time using equal area criterion, stability calculations using an interactive package, load shedding, steady state and transient stability, short-medium and long term dynamics study of system stability under network fault and disturbances. Effect of gains, damping and inertia on stability. PLC and SCADA - introduction to programming languages, programmable logic controllers, remote monitoring systems, remote units, SCADA and software applications. Contract Administration - contract types, supply only, turn key contracts, performance guaranteed, services and maintenance contracts, periodic supply and services, conditions of contracts, terms of payment and security money, quality assurances, retention conditions, special contract conditions, penalty for violation of contracts, tender and pre-tender negotiations, evaluation of tenders, variations, binding contracts, bids, tender evaluation and acceptance and legal aspects in contract, dispute handling, extension and future provisions. |
