In one of the first training sessions, Chinese and Cambodian employees at the hydropower station engaged in a study led by a professor from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at North China Electric Power University. The session covered essential knowledge of power systems, including their basic composition and functions, operational requirements, network structures, power lines, and the key equipment used in hydropower stations.

The training emphasized practical applications and knowledge system construction, earning widespread praise. Cambodian participants said the training deepened their understanding of power systems and provided valuable expertise in hydropower operations, helping them address real-world challenges and improve their work efficiency.
