Course description
In Transmission System Reliability, you'll learn ...
- Typical equipment found in transmission/switching substations
- The relative merits of various substation designs
- Unique reliability issues with overhead (OH) transmission lines relative to underground (UG) lines
- Why the breaker and a half (BAAH) substation design is the most reliable
Overview
Credit: 2 PDH
Length: 37 pages
Reliability of the electric system is measured by the weakest link. From a rating perspective, a circuit that is ten miles long may be limited by a section that is only 50 feet in length. This course compares the reliability of the overhead and underground transmission systems and compares various transmission substation designs, how they operate under normal conditions and during faults, breaker failure, etc.
