About Us

Powersmiths announces a significant price reduction for 2008 for its OPS-X simulator based training delivered in the independent study mode.  OPS-X consists of 5 modules each approved for 8 NERC CEH's and 8 Emergency Hours.  The number of simulation hours and standards hours varies with each module.  The price for each module is $195 per module per student.  Site licenses are also available.  Please see the following pages for more details.

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 40 CEH's available now and more on the way.

OPS-X DEMO exercise

To download a demo version of OPS-X, please go to www.powerworld.com/products/ops-x.asp or call or e-mail us to schedule a webex session where we will take you through the OPS-X demonstration. 

If you previously downloaded our demo, you will need one extra file to run the program so that you do not get a message that the demo has expired.  Please make us aware of this when you email us for the password and instructions.

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."
