Online Training - Combined Electrical Control Operation and Power System

INTRODUCTION The main objective of power system operation and control is to maintain continuous supply of power with an acceptable quality, to all the consumers in the system. The system will be in equilibrium, when there is a balance between the power demand and the power generated. This course will learn about Power System including control operation. OUTLINE 1.
