PSEC_720PSEC_720: Economic Transmission Planning --  At a glance

Today’s transmission system is challenged with renewable energy integration, competing interests of investors, consumers and environmental advocates, and the increasing role information technology plays in the delivery of electric energy. The growth in behind-the-meter solutions from demand response to on-site generation, and the emergence of alternative networks, such as microgrids, means that the transmission system’s reliability function has become more complex, and the economic evaluation of competing projects, less straightforward.

The primary objective of this course is to teach fundamental and advanced economic concepts as an integral component of transmission planning and project evaluation. The objective is to instill in transmission planners the economic and transmission concepts that will allow for best in class project planning and analysis.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to apply these concepts for short, intermediate and long-term planning studies and to judge the relative merits of competing transmission projects.
