The Impact of Substation Fire / Damage on the Electrical Grid (Webinar)
Credit: 2 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Ahmed Mousa, PhD
Type: Live Interactive Webinar
In The Impact of Substation Fire / Damage on the Electrical Grid, you'll learn ...
- Why substations are proving to be an incredibly important part of the energy industry
- The impact of substations on renewable energy
- Different types of substations and their relevant parts
- The dangers of fire damage to substations and substation grids, and methods to prevent them
Overview
Substations are arguably the most important land with 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; not many would argue that everyday life would not be impeded if suddenly faced with a lack of electricity.
Substations are expected to play a major role in the expected widespread impact of renewable energy. Substations and their associated grids are majorly affected by substation, and in response, there have been measures implemented to prevent/minimize damage and ensure grid reliability. We will cover these damage prevention methods, as well as various substation bus designs and transformer failure scenarios.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain substation functions.
- Identify key substation equipment.
- Analyze the impact of fires, damage, and storms on substations.
- Describe damage to Distributed Energy Resources (DERs).
- Explain load forecasting, planning, and load flow.
- Identify transformers and the substation bus time constant.
