We've awarded contracts to the 'trailer' developer (Hampden Engineering) and the substation relay trainer (System Controls).
Because of budget constraints we've decided to acquire the training devices in two phases. Phase one will include the relay trainer which will train on enhanced reliability, self healing grid, distribution automation and distribution management systems. In addition we'll be able to train on distributed generation, including renewable energy, interconnection, Microgrids, Smart Meter training, demand response, and consumer participation in the energy markets (selling energy or load reduction). This training capability will be available this November.
Phase two will commence when we have secured additional funds. Phase two will include a distribution automation/distribution management system trainer, a Volt/VAR trainer, a HAN trainer, electric vehicle charging, deeper training on the smart meeter including meter data management systems, deeper training on distribution automation, and a trainer for introduction to the power grid and demand response.
