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 online engineering PDH course describes the basic concept, function, types, and the different components of electrical transformers.
A transformer is an electrical equipment that transfers energy from one circuit to another by electromagnetic induction. They are often used to convert between high and low voltages (step-up or step down). Transformers and their components vary depending on the application and are available in several different configurations.

This online engineering PDH course provides a basic understanding of the fundamental principles, concepts and definitions of radar systems.
The term Radar is an acronym made up of the words radio detection and ranging. The term is used to refer to electronic equipment that detect the presence, direction, height, and distance of objects by using reflected electromagnetic energy.
Modern radar systems are used for early detection of surface or air objects and provide extremely accurate information on distance, direction, height, and speed of the objects. Radar is also used to guide missiles to targets and direct the firing of gun systems. Other types of radar provide long-distance surveillance and navigation information.

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.
