Electricity Grid - Resilience to Hurricanes
This online engineering PDH course provides an overview on the effects of hurricanes on the electric grid system in the United States and the efforts being made to enhance the grid resilience.
Hurricanes pose significant threats to the electricity grid in some U.S. coastal areas and territories and are a leading cause of major power outages. In recent years, hurricanes have impacted millions of customers in these areas. Adoption of technologies and other measures could improve the resilience of the grid so that it is better able to withstand and rapidly recover from severe weather; this could help mitigate the effects of hurricanes.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers and other professionals who are interested in learning more about how to protect the electric grid from hurricanes.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the electric grid system in the U.S.
- Understanding the effect of hurricanes on the grid
- Learning the efforts being made to improve grid resilience
- Knowing the recommendations proposed by GAO to improve the grid resilience
