Course overview

Mathematics is critical to understanding and operating the power system. Data that represents various electrical properties is used to determine the power system's status. This data is often combined with other data. It is then scaled, adjusted, or otherwise processed using mathematics to provide useful information to the system operator. The Math for System Operators training course explains principles for power system calculations. This online course is part of the System Operations training series.
