| Generating stations produce Electrical Power. These generating stations are located far away from the load centers (Industries, Commercial, Agriculture, Residential, etc,.). The transmission of power at a generated voltage (ex:11kV ) to a long-distance causes more power loss. This affects the efficiency of the system. To avoid this, the generated voltage should be stepped up to a higher value. This can be achieved with help of generating substations and stepping down at load centers using distribution substations.
The Substations serve as an intermediate link between the generating station and the load centers. Here the voltages can be stepped up or stepped down using power transformers. The switching of various feeders can be done and also, substations provide voltage and current measurement with help of instrument transformers. Based on application, substations are classified into various types such as Generating substations, Primary grid stations, Switching substations, HVDC substations, etc. In terms of construction, substations are classified into various types such as Air-insulated Substations, Gas Insulated Substations, and PASS Substations. In this course, training on real-time Air-insulated substations will be provided. Also, information on advanced substations like gas-insulated and PASS substations will be provided. The training on Air-insulated substation practical equipment like a Current Transformer, Potential Transformer, Circuit Breaker, Isolators, Lightning arrestors, wave traps, capacitive voltage transformers, conductors, and busbars will be provided. Also, testing of each equipment will be demonstrated. |
