Course overview
The interconnected electric system is designed and operated to prevent uncontrolled, cascading, or widespread interruptions. However, building and operating an electric system with 100% reliability is impossible. Over the years, several blackouts have impacted the country. General guidelines must be followed if any part of the interconnected system suffers a partial or complete collapse. The Energizing and Restoring the Electric System training course demonstrates how quick implementation of organizations' restoration plans is required to ensure the quickest recovery of the electric system. It provides general guidelines for the system operator's responsibilities to restore the system. It also emphasizes the importance of mutual assistance between organizations. This online training is part of the Emergency Operations Preparedness training series.
