ADICA Provides Training on Power System Planning in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
With the overall goal of improving national capacities for power system investment planning, ADICA trained power system professionals from Malaysia in the use of the Wien Automatic System Planning (WASP) software. In July 2007, ADICA conducted this 2-week training course in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for staff of the Energy Commission, TNB, SESCO and Malakoff.
WASP is the most well-known and widely used optimization model for examining medium- to long-term expansion options for electrical generating systems. The software is distributed for use by electric utilities and regulation agencies in over 90 countries, as well as to 12 international organizations including The World Bank. ADICA is the worldwide leader in providing training and technical support on the use of WASP. Training centers on the development of a WASP Reference Case and several Sensitivity Analysis Cases using country specific data. The course staff advises participants on how to configure the model, improve model simulations, and rectify problems encountered while running the software.
As the WASP software is distributed free of charge, by the end of the training course, participants have the information, tools and know-how to provide valuable generation expansion planning support to their respective organizations.
