Description:<\/strong>
\nThe focus of this course is to provide a fundamental foundation in electric power systems, from basic formulas to the planning, operations, and equipment involved in generating, transmitting, and distributing electric power. Basic electrical terminology will be explained in simple to understand language with regard to design, construction, operation and maintenance of power plants, substations and transmission and distribution lines. Topics covered in the course include an introduction to the fundamentals and basic formulas of electricity as well as the equipment involved in the electric power system. An overview of generation, substations, transmission, distribution, and utilization is provided. Protection, reliable operation, and safety are among the topics covered.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"power-system-basics-understanding-how-the-bulk-electric-power-system-works-2","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2024-05-07 08:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"07","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2024-05-07 17:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"07","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2024-05-07 15:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"07","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2024-05-08 00:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"08","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Los_Angeles","timezone_abbr":"PDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"https:\/\/www.xpressreg.net\/register\/ieee0524\/landing.asp?_gl=1*hx1cew*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MDExOTM3NzguQ2p3S0NBand1WVdTQmhCeUVpd0FLZF9uX2dvMk5ncFY0d01fQ2owZGFCR3BiN3U3dzFFOXMzclNVMlRPWk1HbFlsS3hZUDBydndIekZSb0NEckVRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTk1NDk5OTgwNC4xNzAzNjkwNzcw&_ga=2.136982261.490105333.1704820729-1777255067.1694626713&_gac=1.87112426.1701193778.CjwKCAjwuYWSBhByEiwAKd_n_go2NgpV4wM_Cj0daBGpb7u7w1E9s3rSU2TOZMGlYlKxYP0rvwHzFRoCDrEQAvD_BwE","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Plain Talks","slug":"plain-talks","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":71,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":12,"filter":"raw","id":71,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/71","collection":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[]},{"id":4789,"global_id":"ieee-pes.org?id=4789","global_id_lineage":["ieee-pes.org?id=4789"],"author":"9","status":"publish","date":"2024-01-10 11:10:56","date_utc":"2024-01-10 16:10:56","modified":"2024-01-10 11:10:56","modified_utc":"2024-01-10 16:10:56","url":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/calendar\/distribution-system-delivering-power-to-the-customer-2\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/4789","title":"Distribution System \u2013 Delivering Power to the Customer","description":"

Description:<\/strong>
\n(Prerequisite for this course is Power System Basics or a familiarity with basic formulas and power system equipment.)<\/em>
\nThe focus of this course is to provide participants with knowledge of how electric power is transferred from generation sources to distribution systems via the interconnected electric bulk power system known as \u201cthe grid.\u201d Basic physical laws governing the grid will be introduced, as well as the regulatory agencies involved in its governance. The great blackouts will be explored. This course is intended to increase participant\u2019s understanding of the electric grid and how it functions in the electric power system. Topics covered in the course include an introduction to the fundamental concepts of power, energy, and power system stability as they relate to the grid. The grid is explored in terms of its interconnections, power flow, North American interconnections, and governing bodies such as NERC\/ERO, ISOs, and RTOs. Reliability standards and contingency analysis are addressed. Issues related to the planning and operation of the grid, such as transmission and economic constraints, determining transmission transfer capability, and dealing with congestion are reviewed. The course also discusses the great blackouts, their root causes, and lessons learned.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"transmission-system-the-interconnected-bulk-electric-system-2","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2024-05-08 08:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"08","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2024-05-08 17:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"08","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2024-05-08 12:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"08","hour":"12","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2024-05-08 21:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2024","month":"05","day":"08","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"https:\/\/www.xpressreg.net\/register\/ieee0524\/landing.asp?_gl=1*hx1cew*_gcl_aw*R0NMLjE3MDExOTM3NzguQ2p3S0NBand1WVdTQmhCeUVpd0FLZF9uX2dvMk5ncFY0d01fQ2owZGFCR3BiN3U3dzFFOXMzclNVMlRPWk1HbFlsS3hZUDBydndIekZSb0NEckVRQXZEX0J3RQ..*_gcl_au*MTk1NDk5OTgwNC4xNzAzNjkwNzcw&_ga=2.136982261.490105333.1704820729-1777255067.1694626713&_gac=1.87112426.1701193778.CjwKCAjwuYWSBhByEiwAKd_n_go2NgpV4wM_Cj0daBGpb7u7w1E9s3rSU2TOZMGlYlKxYP0rvwHzFRoCDrEQAvD_BwE","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Plain Talks","slug":"plain-talks","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":71,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":12,"filter":"raw","id":71,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/71","collection":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":[],"organizer":[]},{"id":5167,"global_id":"ieee-pes.org?id=5167","global_id_lineage":["ieee-pes.org?id=5167"],"author":"9","status":"publish","date":"2024-04-08 11:03:59","date_utc":"2024-04-08 15:03:59","modified":"2024-04-08 11:03:59","modified_utc":"2024-04-08 15:03:59","url":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/calendar\/power-system-basics-understanding-how-the-bulk-electronic-power-system-works\/","rest_url":"https:\/\/ieee-pes.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/events\/5167","title":"Power System Basics – Understanding How the Bulk Electronic Power System Works","description":"
