Why Attend This Training Course?

A generator set is a key piece of the power system, and proper operation and maintenance are essential to long-term system reliability that ensures availability and uptime. While power systems vary in operation, application and load profile depending on the purpose and complexity, all power systems are designed with common goals: providing reliable power and maximizing system efficiency. To achieve these design goals, it is important to understand system operation, load profile and schemes and required maintenance. This course covers the best practices for paralleling generators, touching on dependability, cost savings, efficiency, synchronization, and other aspects, emergency requirements for standby and backup power loads.
