Since this is a basic seminar, a prior background in electric utility systems or engineering is not expected or required.
The program unpacks basic concepts related to the history of the industry, how electricity works, generation, transmission, distribution, substations, balancing, storage, and ancillary services. It will review the grid, different types of generation and how they work, common acronyms, underground vs. overhead distribution, and the components of a substation. Attendees will gain a full understanding of balancing authorities and energy markets, as well as energy storage technologies and distributed energy resources. All will leave with an appreciation of renewable energy, goals, challenges, and new mechanisms to balance its variability with reliability.
Come with questions and leave armed with a solid foundation of the intricacies of how Electric Utilities work.
