SCADA and Alarm Features

Duration: 2 Days |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in SCADA and Alarm Features. At the conclusion of this course, the learner will be able to use SCADA on an operational level, and will also understand the breadth of optional features available in SCADA and its Alarm Components. This course should be combined with other SCADA courses if the customer wishes trainees to be able to manage a SCADA database, as management of the SCADA database is not an objective of this course.

This course is designed for programmers and operations personnel who use, build, or maintain displays, databases, and alarms for their SCADA system. For engineers, we would recommend “Building a SACA Model” (Course UNPNM004) instead.

Protocol Analysis

Duration: 2 Days |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Protocol Analysis. Upon completion of this course, students will have a clear picture of what protocol is, and the tools to detect that impact on an EMS.

This course is designed for personnel in charge of system operation or maintenance (system maintenance engineers) and for those responsible for engineering and design (SCADA engineers).

Managing High Availability Systems

Duration: 5 days |  Level: Intermediate

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Maintaining High Availability Systems. The learner will develop their understanding of the data objects that make up the PROCMAN model, and how they are used to sequence and condition system functions. At the end of the course, they will be able to describe the data objects that make up the CFGMAN model, and explain how they are used to make decisions regarding when and where system functions are enabled. Additionally, they will become familiar with CFGMAN, PROCMAN, and MRS user interfaces during both machine transitions and normal operations. Trainees will also become familiar with the sequence of events during the standard EMS machine startup, and machine transition from standby to enabled.

This course is designed for system administrators and system integrators responsible for the configuration and maintenance of successful, functioning systems in a redundant environment. Also, for application developers who plan to write application codes that will extend or modify Alstom Grid delivered e-terrahabitat based systems.

Alarm Modeling for Real-Time Operations

Duration: 3 days |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Building a SCADA Model. At the end of the course, the learner will be able to recognize fields and record names in the SCADA database, as is necessary for creating graphic objects that accurately represent the state of monitored objects. Additionally, participants will learn the processing of controls for analogs and status points, and will create calculated data points and understand SCADA topology processing. Furthermore, students will share data via ISD with other systems, and learn how to use the SCADA Online Editor.

This course is designed for system integrators, power system modelers, and SCADA engineers involved in the creation or maintenance of the monitored power system. This is a complete modeling course for SCADA-only systems, but is also useful for other e-terraplatform customers who need to utilize SCADA data in other applications.

Building a SCADA Model

Duration: 2 days  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Safety in Explosive Atmospheres. The learner will develop the skills necessary to work safely in potentially explosive atmospheres using the ATEX approach. The course includes theoretical training and exercises with an INERIS-certified trainer. The course concludes with an evaluation by questionnaire, and upon successful completion participants will receive a Competence Certificate issued by INERIS.

This course is designed for persons supervising installation, operation, or maintenance in a hazardous area concerned by the risks of explosive atmospheres (ATEX).

Building a Network Model

Duration: 2 days  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Building a Network Model. The learner will develop their understanding of the Alstom Grid network data structure and the energy management functions that rely upon it. At the end of the course, students will have knowledge of the breadth of optional processing and display options available in the Alstom Grid network subsystem, and be able to identify which e-terramodeler views, folders, forms, and tabs are used to populate and examine the network database.

This course is designed for system integrators, as well as powersystem engineers involved in the creation and maintenance of the network topography model.

Building a Generation Model

Duration: 2 days  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Building a Generation Model. The learner will develop their understanding of the Alstom Grid Generation software processes, and their general algorithms for processing and presenting AGC and ACE data. Trainees will also gain knowledge of optional processing options for generating units modeled in an Alstom Grid Generation subsystem. By the end of the course, trainees will be able to easily identify which e-terramodeler views, folders, forms, and tabs are used to populate and examine the Generation database.

This course is designed for system integrators, power system modelers, and generation engineers involved in the creation or maintenance of the generation control system model. This course is critical for GenCo customers.

Building a DTS Model

Duration: 1 day  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Building a DTS Model. This course serves to ensure that trainees will be able to define appropriate information in DTS models.

This course is designed for system integrators, power system modelers, and SCADA engineers involved in creating or maintaining a model of the monitored power system, and especially the Dispatcher Training Simulator.

Building a Substation

Duration: 2 days  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Building a Substation. This course serves to ensure that trainees will gain sufficient modeling experience to start efficiently modeling their own Power System data.



This course is designed for system integrators, power system modelers, and SCADA engineers involved in creating or maintaining the model of the monitored power system.

Network Analysis

Duration: 2 days  |  Level: Basic

This course aims to enable participants in developing their knowledge and skills in Network Analysis. The learner will develop their understanding of the Alstom Grid network applications, and how they can be used to assess load demand, interchange requirements, generation, network connectivity, and limit violations in both the current and contingent network states. By the end of the course, trainees will be able to troubleshoot solution anomalies, and navigate through the various network applications displays.

This course is designed for utility personnel who will use Alstom Grid network applications to perform network analyses and evaluate solution quality.
