An Introduction to High-Voltage Systems for Hydroelectric Power Plants
This online engineering PDH course discusses the high-voltage system in hydroelectric power plants. It describes equipment and conductors that carry current at transmission line-voltage, with their insulators, supports, switching equipment and protective devices.
A high voltage system is used for electric power transmission to reduce the energy lost in the resistance of the wires. It begins with the high-voltage terminals of the step-up power transformers and extends to the point where transmission lines are attached to the switchyard structure. High-voltage systems include those systems operating at 69 kV and above, as well as 34.5-kV and 46-kV sub-transmission-voltage systems.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for electrical engineers as well as other design and construction professionals interested in learning about high voltage systems for hydroelectric power plants.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
