Description

Learn how to perform practical power system studies using PSS®E and understand how power-system models are developed, analyzed, and interpreted for real engineering applications. This course is designed to take you beyond simply learning software commands and introduce you to the engineering workflow behind power system studies.

You will learn the fundamentals of PSS®E power-system modeling, including creating and validating network models, defining buses and branches, modeling generators, loads, transformers, and other network components, and preparing models for analysis.

The course covers important power system studies such as load flow analysis, voltage performance assessment, short-circuit studies, N-1 contingency analysis, and dynamic stability analysis. You will also gain exposure to renewable-energy and grid-integration studies and understand how these analyses support transmission planning, grid expansion, and system reliability assessment.

The training emphasizes practical engineering applications, including study-case preparation, simulation execution, result interpretation, system performance assessment, and engineering reporting.

Whether you are an electrical engineer looking to develop practical PSS®E skills, a power-system professional working with grid studies, or an engineer preparing to move into transmission planning and power-system analysis, this course provides a structured introduction to the workflows used in real-world power system studies.

By the end of the course, you will have a clearer understanding of how PSS®E is used to build models, execute studies, evaluate network performance, and support engineering decisions.
