For the second year in a row the Korean Power Exchange has selected DSI to organize and conduct a full one-month training program for 30 engineers, dispatchers, traders and analysts from across all the utilities in the Korean power market. The Korean power system has about 50,000 MW of generation and an impressive transmission system, and is undergoing a major transition into full market-based system.

The training program consists of joint sessions conducted by DSI experts, invited speakers and invited organizations such as EPRI, CA-ISO and PJM-RTO. The remaining sessions are in two tracks: EMS and Market Tracks. Some of the topics covered include:
