An intensive professional development training course on
Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems
Reliability Modeling and Evaluation Assessment of Electric Power Systems – Generation, Transmission and Distribution
Why Choose Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems Training Course?
The general trend in modern power systems is to increase competition in order to achieve better performance and efficiency in the electricity production, transmission and distribution. In the modern electric energy market, the role of power systems becomes more important due to the existing competition issues. The reliability performance of power systems together with the reliability indices of service supplied to system customers constitute major aspects that are taken into account in the system planning and operating phases. Therefore, there is a need for planning and operating considerations that must be followed by the power system operators, energy suppliers and customers in order to assure that they will be able to operate reliably and safely together. All the above aspects need a probabilistic modelling and evaluation assessment since the existing deterministic criteria and standards cannot simulate realistically all the existing features of power systems and their customers. The objective of the Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems training course is to describe the most important areas that need probabilistic modelling and evaluation assessment.
This Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems training course will feature:
- State of the art knowledge of the available computational methods
- Efficient computational methods that can be applied for the analysis of the respective reliability problems (analytical techniques, simulation approaches)
- Description of the appropriate sets of reliability indices that need to be calculated
- Presentation of application examples by using practical power systems and case studies
- Important conclusions concerning the necessary procedures and practices for the planning and operation of Power Systems in the competitive market environment
What are the Goals?
By the end of This Reliability & Operational Performance of Electric Power Systems training course, participants will be able to:
- Determine the most important areas of power systems that need probabilistic modeling and evaluation assessment
- Understand the main features of the computational methods that are available for the reliability modeling
- Understand the main reliability indices that need be calculated for the quantification of load point and system performance
