Load Forecasting (SDF or DF),
Unit Commitment/Transaction Evaluation, (UC/TE)
Comprehensive Operational Planning and Scheduling (COPS) including:
Optimization and constraints (Fuels, Emissions, Hydro)
Long Term Planning and Analysis Functions
Duration
2 Days
Prerequisites
GDC – Part I course
Knowledge of power systems operations is desirable
Objectives
Upon completion of the course, the participant will be able to:
Identify input functions for Interchange Scheduling
Identify the interfaces for Load Forecasting
