If you are good in programming, you might find a job in a software company. Lot of opening there and the jobs are not restricted to licence engineers. Some companies will help you getting a work permit if you get a job with them.
French is the official work language only in Quebec but you can...
I had the reverse for a permanent licence, from Quebec to BC and I think the test you are talking about is related to ethic and local regulation. You can always have a QC eng. review and approve your work or coach you while getting ready for the exam.
IN some legislations in North America, Utilities must provide general public with how much generation could be connected at every location on the distribution network (both single and multi phase networks). In California, there are now so many small units on residential rooftop that in a sunny...
Not a problem for networks in North America since part of the distribution network is single phase. Some challenges for high DG penetration area regarding voltage regulation and protection coordination but it is under control.
Define preliminary studies. What do you have to check? Your method could be enough for a balanced 3 phase network but do you expect to supply single phase loads as well?
You will also have to define what you consider in your "power delivered" assessment. Do you mean that both can supply the same load but one has more losses? Note that when you are comparing cross sections you should note that both conductor have a different ration of AL/Steel: Kiwi is 8.8% steel...
Some software can do just that based on network topology, customer locations and alternate sources of supply (load block transfers to adjacent feeders). Optimization function could be performed either on max kW supplied or minimum customer-minutes of interruption. Simple rule of thumb for 1...
Fault location for distribution meshed networks (high density LV networks with multiple sources). High impedance fault location and trip on distribution OH lines. Optimal operation of micro-grids, impact of DER penetration, DER hosting capacity etc. Try to spend some time with your local...
Look like a missing/incorrect configuration. This is a perfect case for software support. Why not contact CYME directly? They should be able to solve that with a phone call with one of their engineers.
CYME specialize in such systems importing from various GIS and performing power system analysis. They have a product called CYME Gateway that can extract not only GIS info but other data from external databases (like AMI, PI historian etc) to build a very detailed simulation model. The CYME...
I believe the key question is: why do you need to number your pole? This should decide what info you need to put there and what is worth maintaining?
The utility I worked with (In Quebec just a bit North or you)decided to go to a pure random numbering system composed of a letters and numbers...
Think energy which is a function of current (squared) and time. A 3 second fault will required the equipment to maintain integrity while seeing 300% more energy than a 1 second fault. Fault duration will depend on your protection devices and scheme. You also have to plan for malfunctions...
Minimum clearance will be defined by the Std in force where the installations will be built. Where are you working? In Canada for example we mostly use IEC standards with some adjustments for local conditions like snow cover reducing clearance to ground in winter. In some locations it is not...
