This course focuses on a critical aspect of the power system: the substation. It covers theoretical principles such as substation configurations, along with an equipment overview incorporating relevant data from your company. Practical aspects including operations, maintenance, and challenges will also be discussed. Students will gain insights into substations and the sophisticated equipment they house.
