This course presents an overview of all the components of modern electrical transmission and distribution (T&D) systems, their application and arrangement, describing all their major, auxiliary and control equipment, listing typical engineering issues associated with T&D systems design and engineering and providing recommendations for addressing these issues. This course is based on a ''down-to-earth'' delivery, which is achieved through a very tight connection of material with real life power industry specifics, and emphasis on exercises and practice sessions.
What You Will Learn
- How power systems are arranged and what the transmission and distribution system structure is
- What substation mission and place in the overall T&D structure are
- What substation consists of and what every piece of equipment is for
- When to use each specific type of switching equipment
- What the main types of relay protection systems are
- What the mission and main components of auxiliary A.C. and D.C. systems are
- How to evaluate reliability of power supply
- What the advantages and disadvantages of various substation switching systems are
- How to select equipment for specific application
- Why reactive power and voltage in T&D systems need to be regulated and how this regulation may be performed
- What the purpose of grounding and lightning protection in T&D Systems is and how this protection is arranged
- What the makeup of a low-voltage distribution system is and how to design it
