During the last 43 years, the Institute has trained many power sector personnel in the area of Transmission & Distribution of Power, who are manning the various important positions in Power Sector of the Country. It has a self-contained complex with hostel and Institute with all infrastructural and instructional facilities. The PSTI, Bangalore is equipped with the laboratories for Power System Studies, Power System Simulation, Relay Testing and High Voltage Testing. The Hot Line Training Center, also a unit of NPTI in Bangalore, imparts live line maintenance training of High Voltage transmission lines up to 400KV. The Institutes have experienced Faculty members, Trainers, Laboratories, etc. WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN? Power Sector is a continuously expanding sector of Indian infrastructure contributing to the GDP. The Indian Electricity Act, 2003 has opened private sector participation in the Transmission & Distribution of Power creating a large demand for the trained persons in Electrical Utilities. The main objective of the course is to create technically sound and trained manpower readily available for recruitment to the power utilities dealing with Sub-Transmission & Distribution of Electrical Power. This is a Post Graduate Diploma Program for those who desire to make a career in the power sector. On successful completion of this course, the Graduate Engineers will get their knowledge and skills sharpened, paving the way for better employment opportunity in various power companies. ABOUT THE COURSE: The course content complies with the syllabus for Engineers and Supervisors for Operation & Maintenance of Sub-Transmission & Distribution Systems. The syllabus for the above course will be based on the syllabus framed by CEA for Engineers engaged in Operation and Maintenance of subtransmission and Distribution Systems under part IV of sub-regulation (3) of regulation (vii) under Measures relating to Safety and Electric Supply Regulations, 2010. The course includes the planning, design, engineering, testing, commissioning, protection, operation, maintenance, control, efficiency enhancement of Sub T&D and Renewable Energy systems. This course is being introduced to address the following issues of the power sector. There is increased concentration on the performance of distribution sector in terms of reducing AT&C losses, energy efficiency, demand side management, integration of renewables, etc. The syllabi of Electrical engineering of Indian Universities have drifted away from core Electrical engineering and towards IT applications in the name of placements. There is increasing participation of private players in power distribution like Torrent Power, TATA Power, Reliance Power, Lanco, Genus Power, Vijay Electricals, Spanco, etc. The share of distributed power generation is increasing. Hence there is more requirement of suitable engineers for its integration to Grid and maintenance. Every medium and large scale industry is having an electrical maintenance section which requires suitably trained engineers for handling electrical services.
PLACEMENT: NPTI maintains close linkages with companies. Placement assistance will be provided by the Institute. After completion of the course, the trainees get opportunities to be part of contracting companies, Renewable Energy (RE) Companies, O&M of RE installations, Hot Line Crews, Electrical s, etc. The earlier batch trainees got placed in NCC, Hyder Consulting, Toshiba TDL, JVS Electronics, Bajaj Electricals, Sterlite Grid, Wind World India, etc. However, the placement depends on the response from the Industry and performance of the trainees.
