This online engineering PDH course discusses advantages to the electric grid that are gained through using electricity storage systems to supplement electrical generation systems. It presents a total of fourteen such advantages provided by an electricity storage capability, including ancillary services, grid system services and functional uses, end user/utility customer functional services, and renewables integration.
One example of an advantage is time-shifting, the purchase of electric energy when prices are low, and then storing it and using or selling the energy later when prices are high. Another example, possible only under certain grid conditions, is using energy storage to reduce the need to buy new central station generating capacity. A third example is using energy storage for grid regulation, that is, the damping of momentary differences caused by fluctuations in generation and loads. In general, the rapid-response characteristic (i.e., fast ramp rate) of most storage systems makes them especially valuable as a regulation resource.
This 2 PDH online course is intended for electric systems engineers/planners, storage system vendors, and regulators concerned with the design and implementation of stationary energy storage systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about bulk energy services

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

This online engineering PDH course presents the basic principles of the physics of overcurrents and their effects in electrical components. It discusses overcurrents of fault magnitude including basic methodology for the calculation of short circuits, which can be used as a basis for software calculations.
This course also describes symmetrical components for the engineer to have a basic knowledge of the mathematics of short circuit calculations. It presents per unit calculations method and examples, including conversion from one base to another, to analyze a power system using single line diagrams.
Overcurrent phenomena are complex events. When a circuit changes from a steady state condition to a completely different electrical state, the electrical components react in different ways. Analysis of these changing conditions, its physics and mathematical interpretation, are all part of the tasks that an engineer must tackle in order to understand how to protect the circuits, and in many cases, the personnel who work around the electrical system.
The 4 PDH online course is intended for electrical, chemical and mechanical engineers, as well as project managers in industry, who are interested either in learning more about electrical protection and the basis of short circuit methodology, or wish to refresh electrical protection and elements of the mathematics behind short circuit calculation concepts.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Identifying system elements and components
- Understanding the basics of symmetrical components and per unit methods
- Learning about the methodology of short circuit calculations
- Familiarizing with the impedance diagrams and protective device settings
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "Basic Tools for Electrical Protection and Short Circuit" by Manuel Gooding.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty five (25) questions to earn 4 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
