This presentation explores the key components involved in substa tion design\, with emphasis on protection systems\, control architecture\, and engineering studies required to ensure system reliability and operati onal efficiency.\n\nThe session will discuss critical elements including s ubstation layout design\, protection and control schemes and communication infrastructure.\n\nAttendees will gain practical insights into modern sub station engineering practices\, protection coordination strategies\, and d esign approaches that minimize energy losses while enhancing grid resilien ce.\n\nMegha Bhardwaj is an Electrical Power Systems Engineer with extens ive experience in substation design\, protection and control engineering\, and power system studies. With more than a decade of professional experie nce in the power generation\, transmission\, and distribution sectors\, th e author has contributed to the design\, analysis\, and commissioning of h igh-voltage substations and power delivery systems.\n\nThe author has led protection and control engineering for multiple 69 kV\, 345 kV\, and 500 k V AIS and GIS substation projects\, including development of protection on e-line diagrams\, AC/DC schematics\, wiring diagrams\, construction instal lation packages\, and bill of materials. The role also involved coordinati ng with multidisciplinary engineering teams\, managing technical documenta tion\, and supporting project scheduling and engineering deliverables.\n\n The author has extensive experience performing load flow studies\, short c ircuit analysis\, arc-flash studies\, and protection coordination using ET AP\, PSCAD\, and SKM\, along with conducting relay setting analysis and ro ot cause investigations to enhance power system reliability. Earlier in th e career\, the author worked extensively in power plant commissioning\, ma intenance\, and electrical system design\, supporting the operation of lar ge thermal generating units and participating in the commissioning of grid -connected solar photovoltaic power plants. The author’s technical exper tise includes substation protection and control design\, power system anal ysis\, electrical construction documentation\, and leadership of engineeri ng projects for large-scale power infrastructure systems.\n\nVirtual: http s://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/544132 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/544132 ORGANIZER:srazanaq@uwo.ca SEQUENCE:16 SUMMARY:IEEE PES Lecture: Key Components for Substation Design: Integrating Protection\, Control\, and System Reliability in Modern Power Networks  URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/544132 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><br><img style="display: block\; margin-le ft: auto\; margin-right: auto\;" src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtool s_ui/media/display/06e0bce6-c310-46f1-b63a-22d828ed4fda" alt="" width="756 " height="86"></p>\n<p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Modern electrica l power systems require substations that are reliable\, efficient\, and ca pable of supporting rapidly evolving grid demands.
