Electrical Installations Audit and Analysis
About This Course
Electrical installations are traditionally designed and erected to provide for safety and proper functioning for the intended use. Sustainable development scenario and the digital economy mandate that electrical installation design must emphasize energy efficiency and supply resilience. After commissioning, subsequent operation and maintenance activities will require energy audit and monitoring to sustain energy efficient management of the facilities. IEC 60364-8-1:2019 considers various factors that affect efficiency in electrical installations and the consumption of electrical energy.
The optimization of the use of electricity is based on energy efficiency management which is dependent on the price of electricity, electrical consumption and real-time adaptation. Efficiency is checked and improved by measurement during the life cycle of the electrical installations.
The main objectives of this 40-hour training programme are to enable participants to:
(a) gain in-depth knowledge of the safety and functional design requirements of electrical installations;
(b) design energy efficient electrical systems through theory-based calculations, and the appropriate sizing and selection of energy efficient power equipment and cabling system;
(c) familiarize with current and emerging energy-efficient technologies, including onsite generation, microgrid, smart meters, inverter-driven pump and fan systems;
(d) identify energy efficiency opportunities through energy audit and able to deploy cost-effective measures to improve energy performance;
(e) familiarize key concepts in Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications, how sensory data collected can be used for Energy Efficiency Management (EMS)
(f) gain practical experience and self-confidence in performance evaluation and energy audit of electrical installations, through hands-on authentic measurements and analysis of electrical installations.
