ČEPS launches its 12th summer school in Czechia

ČEPS, the operator of the Czech electricity transmission system, has opened its doors to the world of modern energy for the twelfth time. Through its successful Summer School education programme, it will once again offer students studying bachelor’s and master’s degrees at electrical engineering faculties plenty of new information, experience and memorable moments.

In the week of 21–25 August 2023, participants will learn not only about how ČEPS works, but also about the entire transmission system, the energy market and the latest technologies. The programme includes expert seminars, workshops, lectures and live discussions with leading specialists in the field. During the week, students will visit the control centre, where a special simulator will give them a hands-on experience of what it is like to work as a dispatcher. A particularly popular part of the annual project is a tour of one of ČEPS’s largest and most important substations, in Hradec near Kadaň, which is home to the only four phase-shifting transformers in the Czech Republic.
