• Understand frequency stability in a power system and how to simulate this using PowerFactory
• Understand conventional and renewable energy power generation including PV, wind and energy storage and their models in PowerFactory
• Understand the stability of the power system with renewable energy integration and the impact of the low inertia and how it can be mitigated by use of virtual inertia and virtual synchronous machines
• Understand voltage stability in a power system and how to use PV & QV curves in PowerFactory to determine the level of voltage stability and the reactive power requirements of a power system
• Understand the basic principles of contingency analysis and how to simulate this in a power system using PowerFactory
