Substation Fire/Damage - Grid Impact
Note: This is a recorded video presentation and does not qualify as a live interactive course nor a live webinar.
This online engineering PDH video presentation will establish, through slides and discussions, the importance of protecting substations from fires, storms, and the gird impact of the damage.
It is argued that substation is the most important piece of land that includes critical electric equipment, such as power transformers, instrument transformers, breakers, capacitors, shunt reactors, switches, SCADA and relays. Generation switchyard, transmission substations and distribution substations represent the pillars of civilization; it is clear from COVID-19 that life would stop without reliable electric power. Substations are expected to play a major role to accommodate the expected renewables’ widespread. Substation fires have a grave impact on the substation and associated grid, as a result, there are existing measures to prevent/minimize damage and ensure grid reliability.
This 2 PDH online video presentation is intended for electrical, renewable and sustainability engineers as well as others interested in learning more about protecting substations.
This PE continuing education video presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding substation function
- Familiarizing with substation key equipment
