“This training gave me a far clearer understanding of modern transmission planning challenges and solutions. It broke down complex transmission planning concepts into actionable insights that will directly improve how I approach system studies and long-term planning.”
Principal Engineer – Distribution Planning, Avangrid“I have less than a year in power systems engineering and this course really helped me understand some concepts that I didn’t before.”
Electrical Engineer, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)As the electric grid evolves to accommodate renewable energy, electrification, and large new loads like data centers, transmission systems are under increasing pressure to maintain reliability and resilience. Effective transmission planning is critical to meeting these demands, but it requires navigating complex regulatory frameworks, technical studies, and coordination among transmission owners, regional operators, and developers.
This course will equip attendees with knowledge and tools to understand and apply real-world transmission planning processes. Attendees will learn how planners assess system reliability, model future conditions, evaluate mitigation options, and integrate emerging technologies such as energy storage, grid-enhancing technologies, and AI-driven analytics. Register today to strengthen your understanding of transmission planning and prepare your team to support the future of grid expansion.

Director – Transmission Planning & Interconnection
Pedernales Electric Cooperative
Xuan received his Master of Science degree from Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, in 2013, and his Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, in 2018, both in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Currently, he serves as a Director of Transmission Planning for Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC), the largest electric cooperative in the United States, overseeing all power system studies pertaining to relevant NERC standards, capital project conceptual scoping & investment optimization, and interconnection analysis & agreements. Before joining PEC, Xuan spent 3 years at AES US Utilities (i.e., AES Indiana and AES Ohio) lately as a Senior Manager for Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Standards and initially as a Manager for T&D Planning. Xuan also worked at American Electric Power (AEP) as a Principal Engineer, accumulating over eight years of experience in T&D engineering and standards. In addition, Xuan had also contributed to academia as an Adjunct Professor at Purdue University in Indianapolis, where he taught power-related courses.
He has authored or co-authored over 50 journal and conference papers on T&D planning, operations, and engineering. His work has earned him numerous accolades, including two Outstanding Paper Awards from IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, a number of Best Paper Awards at IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) General Meetings, and a prestigious Conference Best of Best Paper Award at the 2024 IEEE PES General Meeting.
In recognition of his contributions, Xuan received the 2024 IEEE PES Outstanding Young Engineer Award, two AEP Key Contributor Awards, and the Outstanding Engineer & Volunteer Awards from the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) Columbus Chapter. In 2025, Xuan was one of 74 honorees selected by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for its prestigious Frontiers of Engineering Symposium, which recognizes outstanding early-career engineers for exceptional contributions to their fields.
Currently, Xuan serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery and a Guest Editor for IEEE Power & Energy Magazine. He remains actively engaged in IEEE PES leadership, having previously served as Chair of the IEEE PES Central Indiana and Columbus Chapters, and as Representative of IEEE PES Region 2. He has also held multiple leadership roles within IEEE Standards working groups, contributing to the development of key industry standards.
Xuan is an IEEE Senior Member, a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas and Ohio, and a certified Project Management Professional (PMP).
