Course Objectives: At
completion of this course, students should be able to
Objective
1: Identify costs, efficiencies, and environmental characteristics of
various bulk energy conversion, storage, and transport technologies.
Objective 2: Identify
appropriate applications for the different transmission technologies.
Objective
3: Communicate the relationship between the planning process and state and
federal regulatory agencies.
Objective
4: Communicate the effect of recent and likely future environmental
legislation on the planning process.
Objective
5: Perform the steps of a resource, transmission, or co-optimized planning
study for an electric utility and for a regional transmission organization
(RTO).
Objective
6: Compute generation and transmission adequacy and risk indices for a bulk
transmission system.
Objective
7: Identify the main
attributes of an RTO’s system and processes as it relates to the planning
function.

functions within a production simulation software application.
Objective
9: Use one of the
modeling tools for infrastructure analysis of bulk energy systems.
Objective
10: Apply methods of
optimization to formulate and solve basic electricity and energy planning
problems.
Objective 11: Apply appropriate methods to incorporate
uncertainty into optimization formulations for energy planning.
