Description
A properly planned and designed substation is essential for the reliable operation of a power system network. A high voltage substation comprises 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, the application of switching and power equipment, fault calculations, safe grounding design, protection/control, automation and communication, and maintenance considerations.
