Advanced PSS®E Training
Renewable Energy Integration in Power Systems with Battery Energy Storage
(BESS)
Duration: 5 Days (Face-to-Face)
Target Audience: Power system planners, renewable energy engineers, utility engineers, consultants,
and technical professionals working on RE grid integration.
Course Overview
This advanced-level training provides a hands-on, practical deep dive into PSS®E software with a
focus on integrating renewable energy sources and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) into
power systems. Covering both steady-state and dynamic studies, the course equips participants with
simulation techniques aligned with modern grid codes and industry practices.
