Transmission

This curriculum is aimed at all personnel who are involved in plant maintenance including operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management. Our Objective is to present techniques used in modern plants to measure on an ongoing basis, the rate of deterioration of equipment, analysis and interpretation of such information, and the resultant implementation of predictive maintenance.


Condition Monitoring

This program is aimed at all personnel who are involved in plant maintenance including operators, maintenance technicians, craftsmen and management. Our Objective is to present techniques used in modern plants to measure on an ongoing basis, the rate of deterioration of equipment, analysis and interpretation of such information, and the resultant implementation of predictive maintenance.

Electrical Relay Test & Maintenance

Each module deals with specific relays produced by individual manufacturers. Each lesson is divided into two parts. A. The fundamental operating principles, typical applications and connections for the specific type of relay. B. Illustrates typical test, including: zero check, minimum pickup, timing tests, insulation tests, and seal-in circuit tests. Preventative maintenance procedures are also reviewed.

Electrical Troubleshooting Skills

This series of award winning interactive CD ROM training programs are ideal for learning proven troubleshooting techniques and applying them in a very realistic simulated environment.

Electric Utility Management

A dynamic Training Program encompassing all aspects of utility management activities and objectives including operation, financial control, regulatory compliance, and structure to cope with recent industry trends.

Electrical Fundamentals

This series will provide you with an overall understanding of Electrical Fundamentals including Ohms Law, AC Circuits, Transformers and Three Phase Systems.

Meter Technician Training

This program will train personnel to maintain, calibrate, install, and troubleshoot various power measuring devices.

Power Quality

This program is designed to aid in upgrading one's technical knowledge and understanding of power quality issues. The basic parameters of power quality, the problems caused by different types of electrical equipment and ways of mitigating the problem are covered. The program is focused at the technician/operator level.

Power System Harmonics

This program is designed to familiarize engineers in the utility and industrial sectors with the fundamentals of harmonic distortion. The causes, systems parameters, operating conditions and equipment related to harmonic distortion are examined. Emphasis is then shifted to problem analysis and measurement, mitigation techniques and industry standards. The knowledge gained is then applied in some actual case studies.

Power System Operation

Upon completion of this program the technician will understand the concepts and technology of electric power system operation and dispatch. Particular attention is given to emergency situations and system recovery.

System Protection Technology

This program will train personnel on the principles of protection systems, including different schemes used in the protection of: generators, buses, transmission & distribution lines, transformers, motors, etc.

Transmission System Operation

The program is aimed principally at power system operators in the new ISO and power pools. However, we also expect interest from the new entrants to the power business such as brokers, traders, and independent generators. For this reason a certain amount of necessary standard practice material is included in the program to provide a base on which to build the more advanced techniques.

Applying NERC Standards

This course is designed to provide you with a practical understanding of what each standard is about as the standards are applied to assignments during each lesson.
Throughout the course, you will have access to the full-text version of the NERC standards. You will have the opportunity to review the requirements of each standard before being challenged to apply your knowledge of those standards during the examination provided at the end of the course

Controlling to NERC Standards

The objective of “System Control” is to bring about an orderly flow of power from the generating source to the load (power consumer) while maintaining the utmost level of safety, reliability and stability throughout the system.
This course discusses the requirements and procedures of “System Control” and the relationships of these requirements and procedures to applicable NERC Standards.

Emergency Table Top Drill

Each Emergency Table-Top Simulation/Drill scenario is credited CEH time based on the same events used in actual on-site emergency training. The NERC/WECC Emergency Table-Top On-site Simulation/Drill course includes 13 Table-Top On-Site Simulation/Drill scenarios.
During each Table-Top Simulation/Drill scenario, you will be provided time to read the given information before you begin your response to the training event. After carefully preparing your response to the scenario in your “log” you will be provided with time to compare your responses with the basic expectations for such an event.

Grid Dynamics Series

Who benefits: Balancing Area Operators and Personnel; Power System Operators and Personnel; Utility Operators and Personnel; Balancing Area Operators and Personnel; Power Systems Repair and Maintenance Personnel; Dispatch Personnel; Reliability Coordinators; Balancing Authority Area Personnel; Transmission Operators

System Operations Review

Also intended for NERC Certification Prep. If taken as a refresher by one who is already NERC certified, the following hours can be granted (12 NERC CE Hours/ 4 NERC Standard Hours/8 EOP Hour
The NERC OPERATIONS TRAINING MODULE is designed to provide a comprehensive general review for personnel seeking CE training credit as well as for those persons who are preparing to take the NERC certification exam.

Note - if a person completes this before attaining certification by NERC, then it does not warrant NERC CE credits
This is a tool to help prepare for taking the exam. It does not include or imply content of any NERC certification exam answers. The purpose of this module is to serve as a tool to help with an individual’s understanding of system operations and demonstration of knowledge necessary to succeed in the NERC certification exam. It is absolutely necessary to spend “face time” in the references and Standards in addition to the course completion.

Distribution System Training

After a brief review of electrical fundamentals, this program moves on to cover various aspects of distribution system technology. Topics include distribution networks and equipment, system protection, control and automation, equipment testing and maintenance, and the distribution system operator's role. It is presented on the technician level and knowledge of basic electrical theory is assumed.
