Power Systems Operator Training

The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), in partnership with RelyOn Australia, have consulted widely with Australia’s Power System Operators (PSOs) to produce a National Training Framework specifically focused on meeting the training needs of practitioners operating across Australia’s increasingly complex PowerGrid.

Broadly, the findings concluded that industry is seeking a modular “pick and choose” option rather than a full curriculum.

Modules were identified to meet transmission, distribution and generation needs to cater for PowerGrid practitioners operating at various technical levels. Topics will include electrical fundamentals, human factors, coordination and contingency management, fault diagnosis, risk management for significant weather events and cybersecurity attacks.

The Framework is designed to complement existing training options including various nationally recognised training packages.
