Electricity Grid - Learned from Previous Disasters
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course offers a thorough examination of the insights gained from past disasters that have impacted the reliability of the electric grid.

 

Natural disasters—such as cyclones, earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, and severe storms—have profoundly affected the U.S. electricity grid, resulting in widespread power outages that disrupted service for millions and caused billions of dollars in damages. The course emphasizes the critical necessity for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to take proactive measures to enhance the grid's resilience. It focuses on strengthening the electricity grid to ensure it can effectively endure future disasters by leveraging lessons learned from earlier events.

 

This 2 PDH online course is designed for electrical engineers and other technical professionals interested in disaster preparedness to maintain a reliable electricity grid.
