The energy industry, like any other, is supported by professionals in finance, marketing, human resources management, legal, and of course, engineering. So it stands to reason that power engineers are not the only ones who need to understand how the electric power system works in order to provide service and implement the needed changes that will enhance the system’s performance, improve reliability, and integrate renewable resources and other green technology initiatives.

Most major cities throughout the country have low-voltage network systems in the downtown commercial areas, supplying important loads requiring highly reliable service. Many network systems have been in service for more than 60 years, and the engineers familiar with these have retired. An understanding of the fundamentals of network system design, protection and operation is required by engineers and technicians involved with secondary networks for the first time.

The Low-voltage Networks – Theory and Practical Applications course teaches the design, operation, and protection practices used for both dedicated feeder grid and spot network systems, and for non-dedicated feeder spot network systems.

Understanding the role of renewable energy in the power supply portfolio is critical when developing a reliable and feasible power system, which meets Renewable Portfolio Standards and reduces the utility's carbon footprint. Power system engineers need an appreciation of the planning and operational impacts of integrating renewable generation into the transmission system and an understanding of renewable energy policies to sustain and grow this largely unharnessed energy source.

The primary objective of this course is to provide an overview of the technical challenges and benefits of integrating large amounts of renewable generation (wind and solar) and energy storage into the transmission system, along with the power system studies that need to be conducted.

Upon completion of this course, participants will have a deep understanding of the latest renewable generation and energy storage technologies, their capabilities and limitations and methods to assess their impacts on the transmission system.

The PSS®MUST software program can efficiently calculate the impact of power transfers on key network elements, identify the most limiting contingencies and constraints, calculate incremental transfer capability (FCITC), and calculate the sensitivity of monitored elements or transfer capability to transactions, generation or load changes. These techniques are useful for a variety of applications such as calculating interface/flowgate transfer limits, determining the impacts of new generator or transmission projects, and calculating generator redispatch/TLR factors for relieving overloads.

Upon completion of PSS®MUST – Using System Transmission Data for Decision Making, participants will know how to use the interactive functions in PSS®MUST to examine and understand network conditions and limitations.
