INTRODUCTION:
The transmission & zone substation primary and secondary systems will be completely and clearly understood through the Substation Design & Operation training session.
Transmission, distribution, and generation make up power systems. Power companies and industrial consumers typically design and install substations at different locations and at different voltage levels in order to control the line losses and voltage drop percentages within these systems. These substations not only make it easier to monitor and instrument system parameters, but they also assist businesses, utilities, and industrial loads to improve their power factor, demand factor, load factor, tele-protection, etc
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this training seminar, you will learn how to:
- Determine the location and busbar configuration of a typical substation
- Propose specifications for major substation equipment
- Create single line, layout, and schematics diagrams
- Select fit-for-the-purpose protection relays and other related devices
- Calculate fault levels and loadings of feeders and branches
- Analyze protection logics and coordination between protection devices
ORGANISATIONAL BENEFIT
On successful completion, the organizational impact would be:
- Develop a structured approach and understanding of substation types and functions
- Build up a systematic approach to substation planning and feasibility studies
- Correct selection of substation busbar configuration to ensure flexible switching and loading
- Calculation of fault levels, propose protection settings, and demonstrate protection coordination
- Become familiar with substation construction challenges and solutions
- Practice on substation equipment sizing/rating and the associated calculations
PERSONAL BENEFIT
Participants from different sectors of engineering companies will enormously benefit from this training course because they will become more familiar with:
- Power system analysis including load and fault studies
- Role of zone substations and their associated protection and control gears
- Theoretical concepts and practical equations of earthing and power system protection
- Power system switching & operation
