UNITEN Strengthens Power System Expertise in Timor-Leste
12 August 2026
UNITEN R&D Sdn. Bhd. (URND), with the support of HAPUA Working Group No. 5 and TNB Global Business Solutions Division, conducted a two-day Power System Studies training programme in Dili, Timor-Leste, from 12 to 13 August 2026. The programme aimed to enhance the technical knowledge and practical skills of engineers and personnel from Eletricidade de Timor-Leste (EdTL) in power system analysis and planning.
The training covered network modelling, load flow analysis, short-circuit analysis and protection coordination, with particular emphasis on translating actual network data into reliable simulation models. Participants also gained insights into effective data collection, validation and model management practices to support system operations, fault investigations and future grid expansion.
The on-site sessions facilitated valuable two-way knowledge exchange. Trainers shared established industry practices and simulation methodologies, while EdTL engineers provided insights into Timor-Leste's network architecture, operational challenges and development priorities.
The initiative reflects UNITEN's commitment to regional knowledge sharing and technical capacity building, contributing to the development of more reliable and resilient energy systems across ASEAN.
