Substation Power Engineering Fundamentals - Virtual Learning
This training course explore the types, characteristics, components and protection for electrical power substations. Power substations can be distinctly classified into two main categories one is outdoor usually the air insulated substation (AIS) and indoor the gas insulated substation (GIS). Both substations have similar equipment and components, although the design of these equipment may defer.The main feature of the power substation is the type of transformers, they are visible in the transmission and distribution substations. The substation includes the overcurrent protection devices, the circuit breakers, the disconnector switches, instrument transformers including the lightning and surge protection devices. Progressively many new electrical installations are opting for the indoor gas insulated substation due to its safe, secured and reliable performance. In this digital age there is also a shift to the futuristic digital substation complimented by state-of-the-art equipment.
This Gulf Rowad Substation Power Engineering Fundamentals training course will highlight:
The construction and characteristics of the air insulated substation and (AIS) the gas insulated substation (GIS)
The operations of the various equipment in the power substations
Fundamental and merits of gas insulated substation
Substation protection devices and equipment
Futureproof digital substation
