The Substation Design & Operation training course provides a deep insight into transmission and zone substation primary and secondary systems. Its core premise is enabling effective power system management, including transmission, distribution, and generation. This training course explores the design and construction of substations. It also ensures that the participants understand how to optimize factors like power, demand, and load and manage surges, overloads, fault clearances, critical equipment loads, and equipment ratings.
The Substation Design & Operation training course is bifurcated into primary and secondary components. The primary component covers switchgear, switchyards, power transformers, service transformers, and switching device management. It includes detailed discussions around clearance distances, cable and transformer sizing, protection measures, substation location studies, and load studies. Participants can also review busbar configurations and construct single-line diagrams for system analysis. Meanwhile, the secondary component of this training course revolves around the operation and design of protection relays, circuit breakers, and other control devices. This part also delves into SCADA systems, overload control, load-shedding techniques, and power quality issues. It allows participants to conduct fault analyses, propose protection schemes, and choose appropriate circuit transformers and relays for complex power systems.
Upon completing this Substation Design & Operation training course, participants will acquire various valuable skills. These include the capacity to ascertain the ideal location and design the busbar configuration for a standard substation. In addition, they will be capable of recommending specifications for essential substation machinery. Practical skills such as creating diagrams, including single-line, layout, and schematics, will also be fostered. Furthermore, participants will be equipped to choose appropriate protection relays and similar devices based on the specific requirements of a project. Lastly, this training course will enhance the ability of participants to compute fault levels and loads of feeders and branches and evaluate the interplay and coordination among various protection devices.
