Electrical Load Flow and Network Studies
Network studies answer whether an addition will overload something or trip protection, before it is connected. This course covers load flow, fault level and protection studies.

Motor Control Centres and Variable Speed Drives
Motors consume the majority of industrial electricity and their control gear is where much of the downtime originates. This course covers motor control centre construction, starting methods and the drives that control speed and save energy.
Solar Photovoltaic System Design and Installation
Solar installations underperform when they are sized on optimism rather than on load data and site conditions. This course covers system sizing, component selection, installation practice and commissioning for grid tied and hybrid systems.
Substation Operation and Maintenance
Substations concentrate risk and consequence in one place. This course covers the equipment, switching discipline and maintenance regime that keep a substation safe and available.
