Description

Power delivery for customers is made possible by sophisticated distribution systems. The backbone of distribution systems is power substations which connect, control, protect, and regulate incoming "high voltage" transmission lines to "low voltage" residential and commercial customers. This course will introduce and present basic information regarding electric power substations and the distribution of electric power, including components of power substations, individual equipment components, and electric power distribution systems. General information related to operational aspects of substations and distributing electric power is included. Topics including reactive power compensation, grounding, and protection and control are introduced in a "simplified" yet "very practical approach".
