DESCRIPTION:The IEEE PES/IAS Joint Chapter will organize a technical visit 
 to the Black Hills Energy Control Center to provide participants with a pr
 actical understanding of how modern electric power systems are monitored\,
  operated\, and coordinated in real time.\n\nDuring the visit\, Black Hill
 s Energy personnel will introduce the functions of a utility control cente
 r\, including system monitoring\, generation and load balancing\, transmis
 sion operations\, reliability coordination\, and responses to changing gri
 d conditions. Participants will also learn how electricity is scheduled an
 d traded through wholesale electricity markets and how market operations i
 nteract with physical power-system constraints.\n\nThe visit will give stu
 dents and faculty an opportunity to connect power-system concepts learned 
 in the classroom and research laboratory with real-world utility operation
 s. The event will also provide insight into careers and professional respo
 nsibilities in power-system operation\, energy management\, and electricit
 y markets.\n\nRapid City\, South Dakota\, United States

 ntroduce the functions of a utility control center\, including system moni
 toring\, generation and load balancing\, transmission operations\, reliabi
 lity coordination\, and responses to changing grid conditions. Participant
 s will also learn how electricity is scheduled and traded through wholesal
 e electricity markets and how market operations interact with physical pow
 er-system constraints.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;The visit will give students and faculty an
  opportunity to connect power-system concepts learned in the classroom and
  research laboratory with real-world utility operations. The event will al
 so provide insight into careers and professional responsibilities in power
 -system operation\, energy management\, and electricity markets.&lt;/p&gt;
