Lunch is included. Date/Time: Thursday, 14 October 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The IEEE Power Engineering Society is pleased to offer an outstanding training opportunity to expose business, regulatory, legal, and other professionals to the intricacies of the electric power system and to provide a good understanding of basic power concepts, terminology and fundamental issues. This one-day course examines the basics of electricity, the fundamentals of power systems, and the key processes in power system operations. Presented in nonmathematical and nonengineering language and with a focus on real-world problems and examples, the short course provides a thorough grounding of electric power system planning, operations, economics, and possible regulatory frameworks. The course was designed to expose nontechnical people associated with the electric power industry to some of the salient characteristics of power systems and the nature of the rapidly changing electric utility business. The intent was to create a vehicle that can equip the many professionals whose jobs touch on power to have more comfort in understanding the myriad terms bandied around day in and out and to understand the basic functioning of the power system. Power System Basics for Non-Engineering Professionals is a special tutorial sponsored by the IEEE PES and will be presented by a team of leading specialists in the field. |
