Welcome to Opsxpert, the home of the newly developed computer based electric power system training program OPS-X. OPS-X is the product of teaming between Powersmiths International and PowerWorld Corporation.

Using PowerWorld simulation software, OPS-X presents Power System Operator training in a hands-on simulation environment.

One objective is to place the operators out of their comfort zone, in unfamiliar circumstances, with a skinny power system, at faster than real time to develop and test instincts and reactions.

System simulations greatly enhance the training experience and improve the retention of the material.

OPS-X meets the NERC annual requirement for System Emergency Operations training and is approved under the new Expanded Operator Certification program.

IF your NERC operator certification expires in the next three years, get started now in obtaining the CEH's you will need to maintain that certification. We have 56 CEH's available now and more on the way.

OPS-X is patterned after military jet simulators. It is two tiered. OPS-X will teach you the physics of power systems and more importantly, it will enhance your critical decision making capability. You will learn to think proactively and anticipate. You will apply the physics to prevent emergencies. "You really can't learn this from a book."
