Setting Up of State-of-the Art Learning Facilities
CBIP also plans to establish following state-of the art learning facilities which would function
as stand alone or in supplement to the technical knowledge acquired by the
students in the formal class room
-
Computer based Training Packages/Open Leaning Centre
To give a better understanding of
various equipments and systems in the power generation, transmission and
distribution systems, computer based training packages shall be developed by the
experts. The students would be able to learn at their own place and convenient
time in an open learning centre having latest computers with multimedia
facilities. Subsequently these packages shall also be used in Web based course
delivery.
Newer Technologies are being
introduced regularly in all areas of Power generation, transmission and
distribution systems. In order to give the trainees a feel of the actual
operation of the various systems and equipments, their training on Simulators
shall be very helpful. Although simulators are very costly, the training on
simulators is also mandated in regulations issued by the Central Electricity
Authority. Increase in size of generating units like super critical units of
upto 800 MW Capacity, higher voltages in transmission and smart grid
applications in Distribution are the latest trends. It is proposed to set up the
following simulators:
Ø
Thermal Simulators of Capacity 210 MW, 500 MW, 660 MW and 800 MW
Ø
Hydro
Generation Simulator
Ø
Transmission Line Simulator
Ø
Load
Despatch Simulator
Ø
Smart Grid and Distribution Simulator

Virtual Class Rooms/Video Conferencing Facilities
Through virtual class rooms/video
conferencing CBIP plans to conduct various training sessions by the faculties
who are stationed at far off place or through webinars.
