Secu­re and relia­ble elec­tri­ci­ty sup­p­ly is one of the key chal­lenges of modern ener­gy sys­tems. Trans­mis­si­on sys­tem ope­ra­tors (TSOs) bear the main respon­si­bi­li­ty for sys­tem ope­ra­ti­on, ensu­ring the sta­ble ope­ra­ti­on of the trans­mis­si­on grid. This trai­ning pro­vi­des the essen­ti­al basic know­ledge of sys­tem ope­ra­ti­on and offers a com­pre­hen­si­ve over­view of core tasks such as con­ges­ti­on manage­ment, vol­ta­ge con­trol, fre­quen­cy sta­bi­liza­ti­on, and outa­ge plan­ning. In addi­ti­on, a brief excur­si­on into ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning is included to illus­tra­te the inter­faces and coöpe­ra­ti­on bet­ween grid ope­ra­ti­ons and planning.

This trai­ning is aimed at pro­fes­sio­nals and care­er star­ters who wish to deve­lop a solid under­stan­ding of the fun­da­men­tals of sys­tem ope­ra­ti­on in order to bet­ter under­stand and mas­ter the com­plex requi­re­ments at trans­mis­si­on grid level.

Through prac­ti­cal con­tent and well-foun­ded theo­ry, a solid under­stan­ding of the key aspects of grid ope­ra­ti­ons is established.


Tar­get groups:

Ener­gy sup­pli­ers and grid ope­ra­tors: peo­p­le who work with trans­mis­si­on sys­tem ope­ra­tors or need to under­stand their plan­ning processes.

Care­er star­ters: new employees, trai­nees, or care­er chan­gers in the ener­gy industry.

Engi­neers and tech­ni­ci­ans: pro­fes­sio­nals pre­pa­ring for roles in the ener­gy sup­p­ly sector.

Con­sul­tants and pro­ject mana­gers: peo­p­le who mana­ge pro­jects in the field of trans­mis­si­on sys­tem operators.

Con­tent:

Intro­duc­tion to grid operations

  • Importance and objec­ti­ves of grid operations
  • Over­view of the are­as of responsibility

Sys­tem security

  • Con­ges­ti­on management
  • Emer­gen­cy measures

Vol­ta­ge control

  • Fun­da­men­tals of vol­ta­ge compliance
  • Mea­su­res for vol­ta­ge control

Fre­quen­cy stabilization

  • Importance of fre­quen­cy in power grids
  • Mea­su­res for fre­quen­cy control

Outa­ge planning

  • Plan­ning and coör­di­na­ti­on of outages
  • Coöpe­ra­ti­on with other departments

Tasks of ope­ra­tio­nal planning

  • Sup­port for grid operations
  • Long-term and short-term plan­ning tasks

This trai­ning pro­vi­des a solid intro­duc­tion to sys­tem ope­ra­ti­on, which forms the back­bone of trans­mis­si­on grid ope­ra­ti­on. It pro­vi­des the essen­ti­al basic know­ledge of the core tasks of grid ope­ra­ti­ons, such as sys­tem secu­ri­ty, vol­ta­ge con­trol, fre­quen­cy sta­bi­liza­ti­on, and outa­ge plan­ning, which are essen­ti­al for secu­re and sta­ble grid operation. 

A brief excur­si­on into ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning com­ple­ments the con­tent in order to illus­tra­te the coöpe­ra­ti­on bet­ween grid ope­ra­ti­ons and ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning. With an expe­ri­en­ced trai­ner and prac­ti­cal con­tent, an ide­al foun­da­ti­on is crea­ted for working in the ener­gy industry.

Kata­lin Di Martino

With more than seven years of expe­ri­ence in ope­ra­tio­nal plan­ning at Ampri­on, Kata­lin Di Mar­ti­no is a reco­gni­zed expert in the fields of capa­ci­ty cal­cu­la­ti­on, con­ges­ti­on manage­ment, and redis­patch. Through her clo­se col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with grid ope­ra­ti­ons, she has gai­ned exten­si­ve know­ledge of the con­trol and sta­bi­liza­ti­on of power grids, as well as the coör­di­na­ti­on of mea­su­res to ensu­re grid sta­bi­li­ty. In addi­ti­on, she was invol­ved for more than two years at Ten­neT in the deve­lo­p­ment of the cost sha­ring pro­cess in the CORE capa­ci­ty cal­cu­la­ti­on regi­on and has acqui­red in-depth know­ledge of the deve­lo­p­ment and imple­men­ta­ti­on of Euro­pean pro­ces­ses. She is curr­ent­ly working as a con­sul­tant at X‑impuls AG and, thanks to her exper­ti­se, plays a key role in the imple­men­ta­ti­on of the Cor­Net plat­form as part of the Cor­Net pro­gram. With her expe­ri­ence in pro­ject manage­ment, as a pro­duct owner, and her exten­si­ve know­ledge of the rele­vant data struc­tures, she com­bi­nes tech­ni­cal exper­ti­se with stra­te­gic imple­men­ta­ti­on skills. Kata­lin Di Mar­ti­no con­veys the com­plex requi­re­ments of modern pro­ces­ses in a prac­ti­cal and easy-to-under­stand way.
