CHS004 – Principles, Disposition

& Components of HV-Substations –
Application & System Solutions

Course goal
The participants become familiarized with planning of HV and MV Substation Projects (switchgear).
They learn about a variety of substation schemes, the function of the components involved and become
informed about the most important technical trends. They receive an overview about information to be
considered for the realization of a substation including the interface to the substation automation sys-
tem.

Main learning objectives Prerequisites

The participants will be able to:
— Describe the technical requirements of HV-
Substations including their MV part.
— Explain the different physical and electrical
configurations of substations (based on sin-
gle line diagram SLD) and their components
— Describe the planning and dimensioning of
HV substations including their MV part
— Describe the steps from SLD to the substa-
tion layout
— Describe the trends towards innovative sub-
stations
— Explain how the primary system (switch-
gear) is interfaced with the substation auto-
mation system
— Explain the operation of substations
— Explain the equipment functions and tech-
nology
— Describe the auxiliary systems of the substa-
tion
Engineering degree, technical college qualifica-
tions or equivalent.
