Course Objective

Electrical power plays an essential role in the development of a nation. A reliable and economic supply of electrical power is essential for the effective and productive operation of Singapore’s industries. This can only be achieved by having an efficient and well-planned power system operated by skilful operators. This demands engineers with the knowledge of power system planning, operation and protection.

This course provides participants with relevant knowledge and skills training to perform planning, design, operation, protection and management of electrical power systems.

Course Outline

This course consists of 2 modular Post-Diploma Certificates (PDC). Each PDC is designed to be completed in one academic semester and is made up of two 60-hour modules. Upon completion of two PDCs (a total of 240 hours) within a maximum period of 2 years, participants will be awarded the Specialist Diploma in Power System Planning, Operation and Protection.

Upon completion of the Specialist Diploma, participants can choose to pursue two additional PDCs to obtain the Advanced Diploma in Power System Engineering.

Each PDC comprises two modules and the details are as follows:
