Skills Development and Power System Tools

The Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering & Technology, organized a two- day 1st National Workshop on, “Skills Development and Power System Tools” on December 04-05, 2019 at University of Poonch Rawalakot. Dr. Usama Usman from Florida State University was the resource person. The main and foremost purpose of the workshop was to provide the information to the students, how to get financial aid to pursue their education and fulfill their dreams without any hurdles in life. Scholarships provide access to those who didn’t have means for meeting the expenses of education. A scholarship can make a big difference in education. The money from a scholarship helps by allowing one to be more selective in how he/she spends his/her free time. Students will be able to maximize the college experience through service-learning, volunteer opportunities and internships. The second purpose of the workshop was to provide hands on experience to the engineering students and faculty on Open DSS and Power system tools. Open DSS is an electric power distribution system simulator (DSS) designed to support distributed energy resources (DER), grid integration and grid modernization. It enables engineers to perform complex analyses using a flexible, customizable, and easy to use platform intended specifically to meet current and future distribution system challenges and provides a foundation for understanding and integrating new technologies and resources.
