Generator Excitation Systems - New

Course Introduction:This training seminar has been developed for the participantsto learn new skills associated with Generator systems andrefresh their previous skills and training, to furtheradvancement of knowledge.The successful operation of anyGenerating Systems ultimately depends on how well theinspection, testing, maintenance and troubleshootingfunctions are carried out. Well-developed procedure readmore

Course Objectives:Elaborate on different types of power systemsDiscussdifferent types of technical informationExamine differenttypes of test equipment used with power systemsExploredifferent types of switchgear associated with GeneratorsystemsIdentify Excitation techniques for GeneratorsDescribetroubleshooting techniques used with Generator andExcitation systems

Who Should Attend? - Electrical Engineers - Electrical Supervisors - Electrical Technicians

Assessment Method &Documentation

Attendance will be taken via the Averest attendancesheet at the beginning of every training day.Assessment is kept informal throughout the learningprocess until the final day, thus providing valuableopportunities for learning. Some assessments aredone in groups providing the opportunity forcollaboration and team problem solving, self-assessment is used to guide learner’s knowledge oftheir learning.

The course itself, instructor presentation and overallexperience are also assessed by the participantsthrough the attached feedback form, the results willbe shared with your company.

Our MethodologyAverest’s Training Methodology

The effort is focused on participants to complete the course gaining maximum learning benefits andoutcomes. We consider the mindset from the beginning to end, incorporating the growth mind-settheory so attendees are walking away feeling inspired, empowered and have an increasingly positiveattitude towards their role with the newly acquired knowledge.

We consider company culture, attendeeknowledge and attitudes.

We emphasise on keeping participantsengaged by enriching the training withquality audio-visuals, opportunities forpractical learning, reflective practices,chances to work in teams with their peersand the opportunity for valuable discussionswith peers, Averest representatives andinstructor. We ensure there are relevantactivities, case studies and examples to framethe learning.

We finally provide an opportunity forassessment and consistent feedback andreflection throughout the learning process,therefore keeping learners aware of theirplace on their learning journey.
