This course covers the interconnected system generation principles, characteristics and constraints to maximize the transfer of power under stabilized and emergency operations.  The impact frequency, generator droop, automatic generation control, regulating reserves, unit sharing have on power system stability are covered.  Then, demonstrate all the above concepts through extraordinary simulator activities.

Applicable NERC standards are discussed in this course.
 
Note: Hands-On simulation training included! 
 
This course is part of APT's Electric Power Proficiency Certification Program.
