October 2009 Dynamic Analysis and Applications
Held in Albany, NY, Oct 6-8, 2009
We had a good, quiet course. Very conscientious students. Went past the scheduled time each day just to complete the exercises. One-on-one time was also very fruitful, allowing the instructors to directly show applications on the participants own system.
The average course rating by the participants was 5.0 on a scale of 5. As we said, it was a quiet group, and we have only one participant comment to report:
It was awesome!

Oct 2009 Power Flow Analysis and Applications Course
Held in Albany, NY, Sept 29-Oct 1, 2009
We have to look back on how many times this course has been held, but this remains a popular topic. This time around the attendees came from the New York ISO, ISO New England and the Midwest ISO. (ISO – independent system operator, for our overseas friends).
Student Comments
The average course rating by the participants was 5.0 on a scale of 5. Some of the participant comments:
•Excellent instructors. Responsive to questions, shared experience and knowledge and examples.
•Very logical structure of course progression and presentation – easy to follow and learn
