This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of electrical theory and presents the basic electrical concepts used in the industry.
A basic understanding of electrical theory is important in any professional environment. Scientists, such as Faraday, Ohm, Lenz, and Kirchhoff have found that electricity seems to behave in a constant and predictable manner in a given condition. These scientists observed and described the predictable characteristics of electricity and electric current in the form of certain rules. These rules are often referred to as "laws".
Although we cannot see the electrons in motion, through experiments and observation we know how they behave. By learning the laws applying to the behavior of electricity and by understanding the methods of producing, controlling, and using it, electricity may be "learned" without ever actually seeing it.
This 4 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers as well as other professionals who are interested in learning more about the theory and basics of electricity.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineering PDH course provides an insight on the importance of cybersecurity on the electric grid systems.
The U.S. grid’s distribution systems—which carry electricity from transmission systems to consumers and are regulated primarily by states—are increasingly at risk from cyberattacks. Distribution systems are growing more vulnerable, in part because their industrial control systems increasingly allow remote access and connect to business networks. As a result, threat actors can use multiple techniques to access those systems and potentially disrupt operations.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers and other technical personnel who are interested in learning more about how to protect the electric grid from various cyberattacks.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the importance of electric grid cybersecurity
- Learning why modern electric grid systems are at risk of cyberattacks
- Familiarizing with the different methods used that compromise the security of industrial control systems
- Understanding the potential impact of cyberattacks on industrial control systems
- Knowing the potential threat actors that may pose significant threats to the grid’s distribution systems
- Learning the various actions aimed at improving grid distribution systems’ cybersecurity
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Electricity Grid Cybersecurity”, which is based on the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) document titled “ELECTRICITY GRID CYBERSECURITY: DOE Needs to Ensure Its Plans Fully Address Risks to Distribution Systems”, publication no. GAO-21-81.

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

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential effects of climate change on the electricity grid and examines strategies to improve its resilience.
Climate change presents substantial challenges for the grid, affecting generation, transmission, distribution, and electricity demand. These challenges could incur costs amounting to billions of dollars annually, jeopardizing economic stability and national security.
The course investigates the vulnerabilities of the U.S. electric grid to climate change-related incidents and evaluates key measures implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) since 2014 to enhance grid resilience. As private companies largely own the grid, federal guidance and standards are crucial for effective resilience planning.
This 3 PDH online course is designed for electrical engineers and other technical professionals seeking to learn how to strengthen grid resilience against climate change.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the effects of climate change on the electricity grid
- Examining the anticipated costs associated with climate change-related outages and infrastructure damage
- Familiarizing with the roles and responsibilities of the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in bolstering grid resilience
- Learning how federal agencies assist private companies, which predominantly own the grid, through guidance, research, and standards
- Learning how resilience investments can alleviate the impacts of climate change on the electricity grid while safeguarding economic and national security

This online engineering PDH course discusses large power transformers, presents their different challenges, and provides various plans and recommendations on how to resolve them.
Large power transformers (LPT) serve as a key function to electricity grid infrastructure by managing voltage for efficient, long-distance power transmission and use by grid customers. Electric utilities and the U.S. Department of Energy face several challenges in ensuring that LPTs, both in use and in reserve, are available in adequate numbers to maintain a resilient electricity grid.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical engineers and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the challenges facing large power transformers.
