• Modern Partial Discharge Detection and Analysis for Insulation Assessment

  
  July 24th & 25th: Two day Professional development course The course will provide coverage of modern PD diagnostic methods and pattern interpretation for a range of equipment types. There will also be practical demonstrations designed to exhibit the capabilities of modern PD techniques. more
  

• Power System State Estimation – Master Class

  
  Adelaide 11 & 12 August 2008 and Sydney 14 & 15 August 2008: This two-day master class is designed to educate practicing engineers about the requirements of state estimation as it relates to front-end processing in SCADA and EMS and to examine the formulations and tools on which it is based. more
  

• Professional Development Short Course Emergency Operations in Power Systems Master Class

  
  There has never been a greater need to train system operators. Simulation based training is used by today’s leading edge utilities to accelerate the experience of new entrants as they prepare for real-time operations. Close the Gap The gap between power system engineer and system operator can be bridged through the use of simulation. The engineer can see his or her studies enacted in a safe environment while the operator can provide feedback and input from the front lines. more
  

• Reactive Power Management & Voltage Stablity

  Two-day intensive Course 19th 20th of July 2007
  Presented by international expert Prof. Ian A Hiskens. The course will establish a clear understanding of the basic concepts and issues underlying reactive power support and voltage control. It will present methods for analysing static and dynamic voltage phenomena, and relate those methods to reactive power security margins. more
  

• Residential Program

  
  Preliminary notice of the 2009 API Power Engineering Summer School. This is the energy industry's premium accelerated career development residential program to be held in February 2009, hosted at Curtin University of Technology more
  

• High Voltage Engineering

  
  This 3-day course will introduce the failure mechanisms in insulation systems, the importance of good design, appropriate testing of prototypes and at commissioning, and methods of monitoring of the health of insulation systems. more
  

• Reactive Power Management and Stability

  
  Two-day intensive ‘master-class’ presented by an international expert: Melbourne, 17 and 18 April; Sydney, 29 and 30 April. more
  

• International Trends in Managing Power Quality and Voltage Dips – Master Class

  
  24 & 25 September 2008 Master Class, covering the issue of voltage dips which are a serious concern to many industrial and other customers. A voltage dip with duration of 100 ms may result in production losses of $1 million dollar or more. For industrial customers, voltage dips are the main power quality concern and have received a lot of attention during the last 10 years more
