The goal of this course is to present how issues associated with the dynamics and stability affect the design and operation of large-scale electric grids. The analysis of electric grids is often divided into issues that affect their steady-state operations and issues that affect their dynamics and ultimate stability. Steady-state issues, such as power flow, …

High voltage electric grids are some of the world’s most complex machines, whose present high levels of reliability have been achieved through careful planning. The purpose of this three-day short course is to provide a comprehensive coverage of the processes used in doing this planning. The course philosophy is to provide a practical, hands-on approach …
The design and operation of large-scale electric grid requires a variety of different engineering studies and simulations. With the rapid grid transitions over the last several years, including the addition of large amounts of renewable and distributed resources, doing this analysis requires leveraging state-of-the-art engineering tools. The purpose of this 21 hour short course is …
(Photos Below) Electricity is the lifeblood of our modern society, and for most this electricity is supplied by large-scale, interconnected electric grids. Engineered as the ultimate in plug-and-play convenience, the wall outlet is actually the gateway to the world’s largest and most complex machine. The goal of this course is to provide a comprehensive introduction …
While it is widely recognized that weather impacts electric grid operations and planning, historically weather information has only been implicitly included in common grid analysis packages. Building on a presentation from last year, this presentation provides new developments in the application of weather information in the power flow and the optimal power flow (OPF). Key …

Deep decarbonization of the electric power sector is essential and urgent to combat climate change. This talk focuses on leveraging the substantial resources from vast end-users on the demand side to decarbonize electric power systems, which encompasses two main parts: demand-side carbon accounting and decarbonization decision-making. Firstly, this talk will introduce the basics of carbon emission accounting …
