A Short Course in "Electrical Power Substations- Planning, Design, Construction & Project Management"
Who should attend: Electrical, IT, engineers with interest in energy & power system; Graduate/ undergraduate students in (colleges and universities); Foreign-trained professionals, Engineers, Technocrats, technologists and other professionals in the field of electrical utility, consulting and EPC contracting (engineering, procurement & construction)
The Education Committee of the IEEE Toronto Section is offering a short course in “Electrical Power Substations- Planning, Design, Construction & Project Management” in April 2021 to develop an understanding of the practical applications of Power Substations Planning process, Design aspects, Substation Components, Construction practices, Commissioning & testing procedures and relevant Project Management techniques. This is the 2nd series after successful completion of earlier course delivered on “Power System Engineering, Operation and Management” to develop an overall understanding of power system engineering and technologies in the fields of generation, transmission and distribution.
Objective: The objective of this course is to ‘Bridge the Gap between Engineering Education and the Practical Workplace’ and to make transformative advancements in engineering education and professional training by integrating power system engineering theory with ongoing cutting-edge research trends and latest workplace technologies, products and practices, for the best interest of power engineering students & professionals.
Description: This short-term course on “Power Substations- Planning, Design, Construction & Project Management” covers all the aspects of the subject. The course introduces power systems basics, review concepts of power system design along with Ontario transmission system planning overview, outlining some of the regulations; defines substation classification highlighting design philosophy. The course also details the various substation components and their functionality, substation busbar configurations, their merits and demerits, and provide an illustrative introduction to substation projects. This will also cover the major construction activities to construct / build a high voltage power substation and methods and practices to manage such large complex projects. The course is meticulously devised to impart the participants with practical exposure to power system substations, make them understand the various requirements and help them understand balancing the reliability and economy. The course also covers Project Management techniques to manage power system specific projects.
