The Course Objectives

With unprecedented levels of retirement and the loss of knowledge and skills that goes with it, there has never been a greater need to train system operators faster. Simulation based training is used by today’s leading edge utilities to accelerate the experience of new entrants as they prepare for real-time operations.

At the end of this course participants will be able to:

Apply the Recognition Primed Decision Model to Emergency Operations
Communicate and make decisions among team members to resolve system emergencies
Control power system equipment prior to, during, and after major system disturbances
Apply the PowerSimulator

Who Should Attend?

Operations Engineers, Distribution Operators, Transmission Operators, Control Area Operators, Reliability Coordinators. Suitable for basic to advanced level participants.

The course will not only enhance their skills but also provide a broader basis for further development of their careers.

Continuing Education Opportunities

The Australian Power Institute has identified a need to provide practical post graduate training for engineers employed in the power industry. This course will ultimately comprise part of a Graduate Certificate in Renewable Energy and Power Systems to be offered at the University of Tasmania, however initially it will be offered as a professional development course. It is aimed at power engineers who would like to broaden their appreciation of power engineering at both a theoretical and practical level.
