Announcement attached below. The 3/19/2013 On Demand Archive is stored here < http://mediasite.engr.wisc.edu/Mediasite/Catalog/pages/catalog.aspx?catalogId=cb72ddcb-449c-47b6-a128-7dc900cefb04 > and is about an hour long.
Sort of basic stuff at the front (targeted at power engineers), then gets into some power system specific examples.
