In the process of electricity generation, transmission and distribution, the voltage needs to be transformed from low to high or high to low as per different requirements. A switching station where this transformation takes place using transformers is known as a substation. The substations can either be air insulated (AIS) or gas insulated (GIS). It comprises of many electrical equipment and protection devices.

These include the power transformer, high voltage circuit breakers, instrument transformers, disconnectors, busbars, and protection relays. The substation design is related to the busbar arrangements as required by the utility companies. Each type of busbar arrangement has got its own merits and characteristics. The purpose is to distribute electricity in the most optimal manner.

This Substation Bus Bar Switching Systems training course will highlight:

  • The types and functions of a substation
  • Common equipment installed in a substation
  • Various type of busbar switching arrangements
  • Characteristics and merits of each type of busbar arrangement
  • Substation automation

By the end of this Energy Training Centre training course, participants will learn to:

  • Identify the various types of substations and equipment
  • Understand the benefits of each substation equipment
  • Recognise the different types of busbars switching arrangements
  • Optimising each type of busbar switching arrangement
