Description
A properly planned and designed substation is essential for the reliable operation of a power system network. A high voltage substation is comprised of switching equipment, transformers, reactors, var compensators, protection, control, and automation and communication.

This course covers all aspects of high and medium voltage substation design, including regulatory and environmental requirements, general design considerations, and the application of switching and power equipment, fault calculations, safe grounding design, protection/control, automation and communication, and maintenance considerations.
