System Operator Certification and Continuing Education

Power System Operator Training Package Options

Challenge

How can trainers with limited budgets and resources bring the newest and most pertinent training content and technology to their operators on a consistent basis, and also keep everyone current with NERC CE compliance?

Solution

For over 30 years IncSys have been experts in using simulation to solve the industry's toughest challenges. A dynamic and flexible OTS, PowerSimulator™ continues to be the industry's choice for generic and custom simulation. PowerSimulator is used worldwide for restoration planning and drills, NERC CE, emergency operations training and more.

In order to make this powerful technology even more accessible to a wide variety of trainers and operators, we launched the IncSys Academy. This new online learning environment gives any organization instant plug-n-play access to the best in simulation-based training which makes for a simple and easy-to-use solution to the most challenging training needs.

Course Categories

NERC CE SIMULATION COURSES
Operators have instant access to fresh new training courses created to help them meet their NERC continuing education requirements while being relevant and applicable to real world job related tasks. Engaging online video content is combined with challenging simulation exercises which can be run on one of a number of typical generic power system models.

SYSTEM OPERATOR PATHWAY PROGRAM
The System Operator Pathway Program helps both Utility Field Workers and Power System Operators at the same time.  Since System Operators are required to obtain NERC CE Hours for recertification, this is a great program where your utility System Operators can obtain NERC CE Hours while helping their Field Worker colleagues achieve NERC Certification and accelerate their careers into the area of Operations.

NERC PREPARATION WITH SIMULATION TRAINING
IncSys also offers this training course package to assist Non-Certified Operators (Distribution, Power Plant Operators, etc.) to get up to speed quickly on System Operator tasks and also facilitate preparing them for the NERC exam.   The unique delivery system used in IncSys Academy courses has been proven to make a difference.  This training course package provides the essentials in power system fundamentals and operations delivered in conjunction with realistic simulation experiences which are directly applicable to their new jobs on the desk.

POWER4VETS TRAINING PROGRAM
For several years IncSys has effectively trained military veterans in power system operations, preparing them for new careers in energy management. Through the IncSys Academy veterans are prepared to pass the NERC certification exam and trained with simulation, giving them real and relevant experience. This makes them valuable to utilities bringing on new operators.

Our Methodology:  Unwavering in our commitment to the unique outcomes delivered by simulation training, all IncSys Academy programs and courses are founded upon simulation. An operator's knowledge and competence is noticeably amplified when they are forced to apply their understanding and skills in a controlled, yet realistic simulation environment.

In the IncSys Academy students will find PowerSimulator scenarios which run on multiple generic power system models. Learning objectives map directly to required operator tasks defined by NERC standards, so whether you are a seasoned operator, apprentice, or new hire, courses deliver knowledge and experience that is directly transferable to the operations desk.

The IncSys Academy is the first fully simulator-based online training environment, which gives it the inherent power and flexibility to deliver on both sides of the training gap — COMPLIANCE + PERFORMANCE. Maintaining NERC CE hours is critical but it is not enough. Instead of simply re-taking the same courses again and again, operators need:

  • Fresh content
  • Relevant to the operator's job tasks
  • Engaging in the content, delivery and interaction
  • Challenging in its application to real-world situations

Industry Candidate Success Stories

Words from Ryan Sanderson

In August of 2018, I promoted to the position Power System Operator 1. As a trainee, I learned all aspects of grid operations, from high voltage switching, dispatching and real time scheduling. After an intensive one-year training program I was assigned to a shift and became a Power System Operator 2. I have taken all that I learned from IncSys and especially the simulation training along with me, and it has contributed to my success as a power system operator. The training played a pivotal role in allowing me to get into the industry and I am grateful for the opportunity the SWAPDA and IncSys provided to help this career path to become a reality for me.

Words from Brian Cope

I am very thankful to IncSys and the South East APDA for this scholarship, it has opened up a new door in my career path that would not have been available to me. IncSys Academy's Power System Operations Course is an excellent online program that I felt did a great job preparing me for passing my NERC Reliability Coordinator Certification with confidence.  What I loved about the course was that it really helped me understand the material, not just pass the test, I very recently interviewed and accepted a job offer for a Transmission Operator Trainee position. The IncSys Power System Operations Course training content helped me confidently answer all of the technical questions. The fact that I had passed my NERC exam helped tremendously in getting the job offer. I would recommend IncSys Power System Operations Course to anyone wanting to earn their NERC Certification. The Simulator portions of the program are outstanding! Put that together with good fundamental material and good online lectures that you can watch over and over again until you understand the material, and you've got a great comprehensive training program. Thank you IncSys Academy for putting together a great program, for your great support with answering my questions while I was enrolled and what you have done to help me succeed.

Words from James Rowland

I am very grateful for the opportunities that have presented themselves through the American Power Dispatchers Association Scholarship.  When I started my career at Burbank Water and Power, I had no idea what a Power System Operator was or did.  My interest peaked while working in the substations as an Electrician apprentice and the IncSys Academy was the perfect tool for me to learn everything I could about being a System Operator and pass the NERC RC exam.  The quizzes and practice exams tremendously helped me in passing the NERC RC exam, and the simulator exercises were a lot of fun and helped me understand the lessons in real world applications. Thank You, IncSys and South West Association of Power Dispatchers! I'm excited to start applying for PSO positions so I can start putting my new knowledge to use.
