New electricity transmission, transmission expansion, and transmission upgrades are being proposed in every region of the United States and Canada. Electricity transmission - and the need for more of it - is the key to many of North America's energy goals, including increased reliability and security, the integration of more renewable energy, more competitive markets, and the construction and implementation of a smart grid. In addition, new transmission market mechanisms are being applied in many U.S. regions.
This course is designed to provide a practical overview of electricity transmission and the transmission system for non-engineers or those who are new to the industry. The course will also cover how new transmission is designed and planned and how the transmission system is regulated. Important topics such as markets and new technologies will also be discussed.
