Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Power system loads continue to grow in size and complexity. Reliability expectations continue to rise. Power systems themselves become larger and more complex in response to growing load and customer expectations. Indeed, power systems have become more difficult to analyze and operate. Recent power system blackouts have heightened the concern for power system security and, therefore, reliability. Major blackouts of electric power systems in which many customers are left without power are rare events. However, the effects of blackouts, for instance, can be catastrophic. It has been observed that protective system failures are a contributing factor in a large proportion of these blackouts during system disturbances. Nowadays, power systems are operating with lower and lower security margins. This is due to the prioritization of the electricity market deregulation, the load consumption increase, the difficulties to build new facilities such as transmission lines and large power plants, etc
