SOL & IROL TRAINING (8 CEH)
This class reviews recent changes to the NERC IRO & TOP Standards that affect how System Ops staff respond to SOL and IROL exceedances in the Operations Horizon; explains what an SOL is and what it means to exceed one; defines acceptable system performance in the pre- and post-Contingent state; describes how automatic mitigation schemes can be used to mitigate unacceptable system performance; explains how ratings and limits are established; identifies the operational tools and processes that System Operators typically rely upon to analyze system performance; and demonstrates how System Ops staff are expected to respond to SOL and IROL exceedances.
Intro to Critical Thinking for Operational Decision-Making (8 CEH)
This class introduces a critical thinking framework and techniques that can be used by System Operations personnel to make more effective, efficient decisions in the Same-day and Real-time Operations Horizons.
BUILDING HABITS TO ACHIEVE OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE (8 CEH)
This class explains what habits are, how they are formed, and how they affect our operational decisions. It also introduces five habits to help System Operators achieve operational goals and objectives in a more efficient, effective manner.
Note: The Intro to Critical Thinking for Operational Decision-Making class is a prerequisite to this course.
IMPROVED OPS DECISION MAKING - RECOGNIZING AND CONTROLLING COGNITIVE BIASES (8 CEH)
This class explains what cognitive biases are, why they exist and how they affect our ability to think rationally. It also introduces critical thinking techniques that can be applied to help control cognitive biases and improve operational performance.
