Training course overview

Power system blackouts are critical events that can have widespread and severe effects on society, industries, and economies. Whether occurring on a small or large scale, blackouts are caused by a combination of technical, operational, and external factors. It is essential to understand these root causes and take preventive actions to ensure continuous energy supply. The Power System Blackouts: Causes and Preventive Measures training course offers a detailed analysis of the factors leading to blackouts, such as system overloads, cascading failures, and equipment failures. Through real-world case studies, participants will acquire practical knowledge on risk management, advanced monitoring, and recovery techniques, equipping them to strengthen grid reliability and resilience.

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify key causes of power system blackouts
  • Develop preventive measures to address technical and operational vulnerabilities
  • Strengthen real-time monitoring and system protection mechanisms
  • Explore best practices for post-blackout recovery and restoration

Who is this training course for?

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Utility company engineers and planners
  • Grid operators and maintenance personnel
  • Policy makers and regulatory professionals in the energy sector

How will this training course be presented?

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes an interactive mixture of lecture-led learning & group discussions.
