A Comprehensive Introduction to Substation Design

This introductory course in design fundamentals will guide you through a step-by-step study of the substation design and construction process. You will consider all phases, from initial site review and selection, all the way to substation start-up and commissioning.

Who Should Attend

Substation design engineers Consulting engineers Industrial, utility, or plant engineers Transmission and distribution line design engineers and technicians Project managers Construction supervisors Engineering technicians Managers of design engineering departments Electric utility engineers involved in distribution engineering, operations, or planning If you are involved in the design, construction, or operation of medium- or high-voltage substations and distribution facilities, you will benefit from this course. Individuals recently assigned to a position in substation design will find this course especially valuable.

Valuable Take-home References

You will receive extensive course materials that will serve as valuable references in your work.
