The theoretical lectures provide a solid understanding of power system operations, and the practical, simulation-based labs help apply this knowledge in real-world scenarios. Overall, this module is challenging but extremely beneficial for anyone interested in power systems engineering. The module also includes a field trip to National Grids control room, really interesting!!
