INTRODUCTION
Electricity generation, transmission, and distribution entail transforming voltage levels to meet various operational requirements. This critical transformation occurs in substations, which can be designed as air-insulated (AIS) or gas-insulated (GIS). Substations are integral components in the electrical grid, housing multiple pieces of electrical equipment and protection devices such as power transformers, high-voltage circuit breakers, and disconnectors, to name a few. The configuration of substations, particularly the arrangement of busbars, is tailored to meet the utility companies` specific needs, each offering distinct advantages.
The Substation Bus Bar Switching Systems training course aims to deepen the understanding of substations. It covers the roles and types of substations, the intricacies of installed equipment, and the nuances of busbar switching arrangements, along with their merits. Furthermore, the training course delves into substation automation, revealing its significance in modern electrical distribution systems. By the end of this Substation Bus Bar Switching Systems training course, participants are expected to gain comprehensive insights into the various types of substations and associated equipment, grasp the practical benefits of different busbar arrangements, and understand the pivotal role of substation automation.
