387-11 Basics of Power System Operations BPS (1 CEH)
Learning objectives
- Recall how a generator produces electricity
- Recall how power angles determine the power flow in the Bulk Electric System (BES)
- Recall how system operators can help to manage instability in the Bulk Electric System
- Recall power, voltage, and current relationships that impact power flow in a transmission system
- Recall the purpose of rating the components of a transmission system (transmission lines, generators, transformers)
Course overview
System operators must control current and voltage flow in the power system while maintaining generation-load-balance to ensure reliability. They must understand a power system's components and the interactions of various components in the largest machine ever made, the Bulk Electric System. The Basics of Power System Operations training course reviews the basic concepts of the power system. This online course is part of the System Operations training series.
