Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The conventional method of power system planning relies on the minimization of system costs subject to meeting given levels of demand and reliability, as well as other constraints. This course covers power system planning, economics, operation and management issues as well as reliability in a deregulated environment. It will give a comprehensive overview of power system reliability. Evaluation of generation, transmission and distribution system reliability and their impacts on system planning will be covered. The course will address the factors affecting power system expansion planning, operation and management as well as reliability in an electricity market including system adequacy, security, ancillary services market, decision making and other management issues.The course is designed to develop an in-depth understanding of key economic and other concepts related to electric utility planning and to expose the participants to modern approaches of electricity planning, electricity pricing and environmental implications of alternative power development plans. The goal for this course is to give the participants knowledge on how to use economic and reliability analysis as a tool for decision support during planning, design, operation and maintenance of electric power systems. link to course overview PDF
