Electrical Substation Design, Testing
and Commissioning Procedure

This Electrical Substation Design, Testing, and Commissioning Procedures training course will familiarize you with the components of an electric substation. You'll learn how each type of equipment functions and gain insight into the control and wiring diagrams that manage equipment operations.

Recent advancements in technology have significantly impacted substation design, operation, maintenance, safety, grounding, testing, and troubleshooting. A substation is a high-voltage facility used for switching generators, equipment, and circuits or lines in and out of the system. It also serves to change AC voltages, convert alternating current to direct current, or vice versa.

Understanding the condition of equipment enables you to focus maintenance efforts effectively, reducing failures and enhancing substation reliability. Implementing predictive maintenance strategies can lower costs and boost the performance of your maintenance program. This course will showcase methods and case studies demonstrating how to integrate these new techniques to enhance reliability and optimize your maintenance processes. You'll explore cutting-edge testing technologies and how they can be applied to assess the condition of oil- and gas-insulated transformers, circuit breakers, and other electrical equipment.

Electrical substation safety is a critical concern in both utility networks and large industrial setups, requiring careful consideration throughout system planning, design, installation, operation, and maintenance. In this course, we’ll cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of safety, including relevant statutory issues.

This training course will feature:

• Latest diagnostic testing techniques for assessing the condition of substation equipment such as transformers, circuit breakers, load tap changers, switches, and associated equipment
• Application of predictive diagnostic testing to reduce equipment failures and extend equipment life
• Aspects of safety as well as the practical and statutory issues
• Maintaining, testing, and inspection a proper grounding system for the electrical power substation

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Design, install, commission, test, operate, control and maintain HV/MV substations in a professional manner
• Identify the various types of substations covering its parts, equipment and major components
• Recognize over current protection for phase and earth faults as well as the recommended grading intervals
• Employ proper commissioning covering pre and cold commissioning, start-up, hot commissioning, start of production, performance test and acceptance of plant
• Perform testing procedures and basic calculations
• Illustrate medium voltage switchgear and oil circuit breakers

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Those who are involved in the design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, testing, control and operation of electrical substation equipment
• Industrial, utility or plant engineers
• Maintenance supervisors
• Consulting engineers
• Electric utility engineers
