MODULE 4.0: INDUSTRIAL SUBSTATIONS & PROTECTION SYSTEM

MODULE 4.0: A COURSE ON INDUSTRIAL SUBSTATION & PROTECTION SYSTEM

October 3 - 5, 2007: PNOC Ormoc City, Philippines
October 10 -12, 2007: Mandaue City, Philippines
November 14 - 17, 2007: PANAY POWER CORP, Iloilo City Philippines

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The design of the industrial complex in concept needs to consider & integrate system voltages, loads, load growths, transformer MVA sizes, system configuration, transformer connections, system grounding, distribution systems, system components, switchgears, auxiliary systems and the protection system that the substations deserve. This is what is known in the industry as “System Integration”.

System Integration requires the competency & working knowledge in International Standards. Using IEEE/ANSI and IEC Standards, Module 4.0 covers how electrical systems are designed from the point of view of primary substations & secondary power centers in industrial applications and how power is distributed downstream. As equipment, components and apparatuses involved in this task are manufactured abroad, these equipment are designed & meant to operate under the bounds of these standards. The course thus provides insights how the engineer should fit his design outputs to the standards.

Experiences in best designing practices by others as well as the benchmarks gathered from several previous technical audits are interpreted viz-a-viz the behavior of industrial plant electrical systems. Attempts to simplify and focus on specific applicable areas in the Philippine scenario but cognizant to international standards are typical in this course.

Performing various functions in the power system, the Power Substation can be transforming voltages for transmission or distribution purposes. It can also be functioning as the hook-up sub-system with other generating plants or can be as simple as receiver of bulk power from a utility source.

Among others, the course covers the following:

1) Load Metrics, System Factors & Relations,
2) Distribution System Designing,
3) The Primary Unit Power Substation Designing,
4) Small Substations & Power Center Dimensioning,
5) Substation Protective Devices,
6) Auxiliary Systems in Substations,
7) Grid Substations
8) Substation System Protection, and,
9) Arming-Up & Coordination of Protective Relays.


COURSE OBJECTIVES

At the end of the module, the participants are expected be able to:

a) Calculate the loads of the Substation in concept,

b) Understand how the different types of Distribution Systems work and where applied,

c) Understand the functionalities of Grid Substations,

d) Determine appropriate sizes of Primary Unit Substation components, apparatuses and devices,

e) Determine appropriate sizes of components, apparatuses and devices for Power Centers and Small Substations,

f) Determine, select and specify Substation protective devices,

g) Establish, select and specify Station Battery system for Substations,

h) Understand the protection schemes for Substations,

i) Set, parameterize and co-ordinate the protective relays in Substations.
