An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Substation Power Engineering Fundamentals
Configurations, Types, Components and Equipment of a Power Substation
Course Overview
This Substation Power Engineering Fundamentals training course examines the types, features, components, and protection mechanisms of electrical power substations. Substations are broadly categorized into two types: outdoor air-insulated substations (AIS) and indoor gas-insulated substations (GIS). While both types share similar equipment and components, their design may vary.
Transformers are a key feature in power substations and play a prominent role in transmission and distribution systems. Substations include essential elements such as overcurrent protection devices, circuit breakers, disconnector switches, instrument transformers, and lightning and surge protection systems. Increasingly, indoor gas-insulated substations are preferred for their safety, reliability, and efficiency. In the modern era, the evolution toward digital substations equipped with advanced technology is gaining momentum.
This GLOMACS training course will cover:
- Design and characteristics of air-insulated (AIS) and gas-insulated (GIS) substations
- Operation of various substation equipment
- Benefits and applications of gas-insulated substations
- Substation protection equipment and devices
- The emerging trend of digital substations
