Power Generation Training
On-site Power, Distributed Generation, and Standby Generation, etc. are commonly called Paralleling Systems. These systems are non-utility power generation sites that can run independent or parallel with a utility grid.
Daily workload does not allow proper training for new personnel or refresher courses for experienced staff. BPS's extensive technical experience is offered as technical services to the following individuals and groups involved in related power, OEM, or utility industries:
Technical Sales and Management Professionals
New Engineering and Application Staff
Experienced Engineers Needing Refreshers
Technical and Management of end-users
Designed by: Nic Harwood
BPS can provide the following services for your organization.
Paralleling Systems Technical Training
Depending on the needs of the individuals or organizations, training falls under two different levels:
1. Paralleling 101 Technical Review 0.8 CEU
This level is designed for following individuals or groups that need to gain a good understanding of paralleling systems without having to get into detailed engineering design.
Technical Managers
Technical Sales Staff
General Application
New Engineering Staff for OEM or Consultants
End-user
This training session is generally presented in a one-day seminar format that can be customized in length and contents to suit your specific needs.
The one-day seminar, in general, covers the following:
