Power System Coordination

Course Objectives:

• Recognize Coordination Related Disturbances and Outages.
• Collect the Required Data to Perform a Detailed Coordination Study.
• Derive Complete Protective Settings for Some of the Simpler Electrical Power Systems that are Consistent with NEC Requirements, and Safe and Reliable Facilities' Operations.

Who Should Attend:
The course is suggested for graduate engineers or personnel with equivalent work experience in electrical power systems. Attendance at The Electricity Forum Power System Analysis Seminar or equivalent is strongly recommended as a prerequisite.
