Start Date:

End Date:

Description
Aimed at non-technical individuals, this course will provide a basic understanding of electrical grid system in Ontario from generation to use in the home, as well as a comprehensive look at the basic systems and components that comprise transmission stations and distribution stations. This review will include examples and discussions of high voltage switching, energy metering, transformers, switchgear, relay and control systems, SCADA systems, and high voltage cables.

The intent is to offer anyone not already familiar with the substations, a better understanding of the design, operational, and safety aspects that are considered by the typical substation engineer.
