Course Overview
Voltage stability has become a well‐known concern in power system planning and operation. However, the fundamental mechanism of voltage collapse and its relationship to the power transfer capability of a network may not be quite clear to many utility engineers.
Course Objective
The goal of this course is to enable attendees to gain a solid understanding of voltage stability. This knowledge will help them to make informed decisions for power system planning and operation.
Who Should Attend??
Utility technicans and engineers; technicans and engineers working in the areas of planning and operation.
