What is the typical duration for which the system restoration training is provided every two years?

System restoration training is a critical component in the reliability of the electrical grid, as it prepares personnel for effectively managing and restoring operations following a major disturbance or outage. The typical duration of this training every two years is set at 2 hours.

This length of time allows for sufficient coverage of essential topics, such as the procedures and protocols for safely returning the system to normal operations, understanding the roles of various personnel involved, and the techniques for assessing system stability. It strikes a balance between providing adequate detail and ensuring that training remains manageable within operational schedules. A training duration of 2 hours is often recognized as effective and suitable for maintaining personnel competency in system restoration processes, ensuring that all participating staff are familiar with current practices and changes in procedures.
