EE1106 : Transmission System Engineering

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Transmission System Engineering. It covers the role of electrical transmission systems in power system network; the types of transmission systems, transmission system components, voltage levels and grid topologies; the transmission system standards and regulations and the basic electrical calculation for transmission, line route selection and conductor selection and sizing; the types of towers, wind and loading considerations, structural materials and foundation design principles; and the insulation and clearance design, grounding and shielding and thermal rating and line ampacity. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the substation layout and types, power transformers in transmission systems, switchgear and circuit breakers and protection and control systems; the instrument transformers (CTs and VT), auxiliary and DC systems and power flow in transmission lines; the reactive power and voltage control, system stability analysis, economic dispatch consideration and minimization techniques; and the load dispatch and grid control, smart grids and transmission automation and transmission line inspection and maintenance. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the substation maintenance practices, commissioning and field testing and asset management and lifecycle optimization; the renewable energy integration into transmission and high-temperature superconductors (HTS); and the HVDC upgrades and MMC converters, digital substations and cybersecurity in transmission systems.
