Training Course Overview

This Power System Analysis training course provides an in-depth understanding of key concepts in power system analysis, focusing on both theory and practical application. Complex methods, often presented as abstract mathematical formulas—such as phasors, per-unit systems, and symmetrical components—are explained in a clear and accessible way. The course emphasizes real-world modeling and analysis, moving beyond just following procedural steps. Upon completion, you'll develop an intuitive understanding of power system behavior and how to analyze it under normal and contingency scenarios.

This training course will feature:

  • Review of phasors, per-unit and three-phase power concepts
  • Modeling information for transmission lines, transformers, generators, and loads
  • Power flow analysis and system operation
  • Short circuit analysis including symmetrical components
  • Transient stability analysis

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Perform three-phase power system calculations using phasor analysis and the per-unit system
  • Model key power system components, such as transmission lines, transformers, generators, and loads
  • Understand power flow analysis and know the basics of operating a power system
  • Use symmetrical component theory and sequence networks to analyze short-circuit faults
  • Understand the equal-area criterion for transient stability

Designed for

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Engineers and technicians new to the power industry
  • Intermediate-level engineers and technicians working in the planning, design, and operation of power systems
  • Professionals involved with the generation, transmission, distribution, or utilization of electric power
  • Individuals working on integrating renewable energy resources into the existing power grid
  • Practitioners interested in modernizing and optimizing the performance of the power system

Learning Methods

This Power System Analysis training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, and retention of the information presented. These methods include workshops where attendees practice solving problems (bring a scientific calculator), case studies where concepts covered are applied to real-world situations, and simulations and animations to visually illustrate what would otherwise be abstract concepts in a novel and intuitive manner.
