Target Audience 

This course is well suited for a variety of audiences. Certainly one key group is engineers new to the electric power industry who would like to rapidly gain proficiency using one of the best tools in the industry. It should also be beneficial to existing Simulator users who would like to gain a more in-depth understanding of its design and operation and see some its newest features. Similarly, engineers with more power systems experience who might use other tools, but would like to gain an understanding of how the strengths of Simulator can be used synergistically. Finally, engineering researchers, including those at the national labs, postdocs and graduate students, who would like to learn how to more effectively leverage the power of commercial tools in their research andacademics who would like to better utilize state-of-the-art tools in engineering education and research.
