Learning centre

This learning centre contains videos and other learning resources related to the New Zealand power system and its management. 

These animations have been developed for training purposes only, and do not provide an accurate portrayal of any specific part of the New Zealand power system. For example, the calculations used in both the Spring Washer Effect and Constrained On Cost animations are conceptual and simplified.
