There are 3 major components to the Power Industry Course Collection. They are Power Distribution, Power Generation and Power Transmission. This site covers the classes associated with POWER TRANSMISSION. It is presented on the technical level and a knowledge of basic electrical theory is assumed.
Over 50 courses to choose from - $65 - $85
3 NERC packages - $350 - $450
Below is a sample of some of the courses.
This series 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
This series will train personnel on the principles of protection systems including different schemes used in the protection of: generators, buses, transmission and distribution lines, transformers, motors etc.
NERC PACKAGES
12 Hours - $350.00 ($29 per credit 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.
15 Hours - $400.00 (About $26 per credit hour)
This module provides the student with an in depth study of operational problem-solving drills. Students will proceed through the various scenarios ranging from minor events to system black-outs and restoration.
Through this module, students will be introduced to the topic of emergency preparedness through a series of exercises or drills designed to provide a realistic learning experience. Students will have to complete separate, written logs documenting his/her actions for a given scenario: the trainees are provided with “expected outcomes” that they are to compare their responses to. This course is very realistic and requires use of skill-sets that closely match those that would be used in an actual situation.
18 Hours - $450.00 (About $25 per credit hour)
This Applying NERC Standards course is an excellent way to gain an overview of what each NERC Standard is all about.
Course DescriptionThis 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.

This L&K training module is outstanding in scope and content - regarding interconnected system operation. This is an excellent foundation for a beginner understanding of interconnected system operations. This module is also an excellent review for more experienced system operations personnel. This content includes the basics of interconnected system operations, introductions to key NERC Standards, a guide in understanding automatic generation control (AGC), interchange transactions, time error correction, system reliability, system monitoring, and basics of control performance measurement.
This L&K training module firmly grasps the control and performance requirements of a Balancing Authority Area. This is a great review for experienced system operators as well as for new operators in a generation, transmission, or balancing authority role. The subjects center upon the newest NERC Standards, details of ACE, control performance criteria, contingency reserve, the effects of frequency excursions, system monitoring, and disturbance control requirement.
This L&K training module provides excellent coverage of operating reliability limits and voltage control. This would be a cornerstone of training for a newcomer to operations as well as a good review for the more experienced individual. The subjects covered include operating limits, monitoring system conditions, power transfer and stability, reactive and voltage control, aspects of system operation, and emergency operations. The exams and problems associated with this module are great for all those associated with power transfer and reliability. It also provides a great deal of navigation through the associated Standards as opposed to that same information that previously resided in NERC Policies.
This L&K training module provides insight into interchange transactions and e-tagging. This is considered to be a foundation to anyone in the business of scheduling or controlling a grid component. The subjects include interchange scheduling, e-tagging, roles and responsibilities for generation, scheduling, transmission,

Electric power transmission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United States power transmission grid consists of 300,000 km of lines operated by 500 companies.Electric power transmission is the bulk transfer of electrical power (or more correctly energy), a process in the delivery of electricity to consumers. A power transmission network typically connects power plants to multiple substations near a populated area. The wiring from substations to customers is referred to as Electricity distribution, following the historic business model separating the wholesale electricity transmission business from distributors who deliver the electricity to the homes.[1] Electric power transmission allows distant energy sources (such as hydroelectric power plants) to be connected to consumers in population centers, and may allow exploitation of low-grade fuel resources such as coal that would otherwise be too costly to transport to generating facilities.
Usually transmission lines use three phase alternating current (AC). Single phase AC current is sometimes used in a railway electrification system. High-voltage direct current systems are used for long distance transmission, or some undersea cables, or for connecting two different ac networks.
Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (110 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in transmission. Power is usually transmitted as alternating current through overhead power lines. Underground power transmission is used only in densely populated areas because of its higher cost of installation and maintenance when compared with overhead wires,and the difficulty of voltage control on long cables.
A power transmission network is referred to as a "grid". Multiple redundant lines between points on the network are provided so that power can be routed from any power plant to any load center, through a variety of routes, based on the economics of the transmission path and the cost of power. Much analysis is done by transmission companies to determine the maximum reliable capacity of each line, which, due to system stability considerations, may be less than the physical or thermal limit of the line. Deregulation of electricity companies in many countries has led to renewed interest in reliable economic design of transmission networks. However, in some places the gaming of a deregulated energy system has led to disaster, such as that which occurred during the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001.[2]
Our online training courses can't be beat. Also our online certification classes are the best you can find anywhere.
