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 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 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 5 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers, maintenance personnel and other technical staff who are interested in gaining a better understanding of transformers.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the function of transformers and their physical characteristics
- Familiarizing with the different components of transformers
- Learning how to identify a transformer as step-up or step-down and state the current ratio of a transformer when given the turns ratio
- Learning the mathematical relationship between the power in the primary and the power in the secondary of a transformer
- Understanding the basics of the different types of transformers
