DETAILED COURSE CONTENT

What the training covers.

This is the established program foundation. We adjust emphasis, examples, exercises, and depth to match your organization and participant experience.

MODULE01

Reliability and resilience foundations

Create a shared language for performance before, during, and after a disruptive event.

  • Reliability versus resilience
  • Generation, transmission, and distribution dependencies
  • Customer and system reliability indices
  • Defining critical loads and acceptable recovery
MODULE02

Threats and system vulnerabilities

Examine how disasters and extreme weather affect different parts of the grid.

  • Storms, flooding, heat, wildfire, and other hazards
  • Common-mode and cascading failures
  • Transmission, substation, and distribution exposure
  • Lessons from actual disaster events
MODULE03

Design choices and hardening

Compare infrastructure strategies for reducing damage and maintaining service.

  • Overhead versus underground systems
  • Substation configurations and physical protection
  • Flood, wind, heat, fire, and vegetation measures
  • Redundancy, sectionalizing, and alternative supply paths
MODULE04

Preparedness and system operations

Improve the organization's ability to anticipate, respond, and restore.

  • Scenario and contingency planning
  • Emergency operating procedures
  • Situational awareness and field coordination
  • Restoration priorities and communications
MODULE05

Resilience investment roadmap

Translate vulnerabilities into a practical sequence of projects and capability improvements.

  • Risk and criticality assessment
  • Comparing cost, impact, and implementation time
  • Climate-informed design assumptions
  • Governance, measures, and continuous improvement
