Target Audience

The course is designed to provide introductory coverage of the design and operation of large-scale electric grids for people without an electric power engineering background. It is ideally suited for those who work in areas associated with the electric grid and need to better understand electric power engineering but don’t possess a technical degree. Hence the course is appropriate for non-technical professionals at electric utilities and other companies in the electric power industry as well as for

  • Staff at Regulatory Agencies
  • Government Officials
  • Developers
  • Investment Bankers, etc.

This short course is particularly useful for those who manage electric power engineers, for new engineers from other disciplines, for academics wishing to gain practical knowledge in this important area, and for graduate students interested in careers in the power industry.
