Power - Substation Grounding Design

Description: Our Substation Grounding Design course focuses on the correct design for a substation grounding system using the ETAP software grounding model and following the standard requirements of the IEEE 80. Learn how to correctly model a grounding system by calculating ground potential rise (GPR), touch voltage and step voltage limits. Get the skills you need to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment by studying different scenarios and grounding interconnection. The following system is recommended but not a necessity: • CPU 3th generation i5/i7 or better • Operating System Windows 7/10 64 bit • Minimum 50GB of free Hard drive space • Memory 8GB RAM • Internet Connection Learning Outcome: After successfully completing the Substation Course the student will be able to: • Model an electrical grounding system for a medium voltage subsystem • Perform ETAP MODEL Calculation of the GPR-Ground Potential Rise; Touch and Step Potential • Create voltage GPR distribution for a discharge to the substation grounding mesh • Implement corrective actions for an unsafe grounding system • Calculate the necessary number of rods to be added to a degraded grounding system • Recommend the proper grounding system for the substation fence • Recommend solutions to mitigate potential rise generated by transmission lines • Generate Ground Fault Report for variant interconnection to other grounding systems, e.g. concentric neutral interconnection Who should attend: The Substation Grounding Design course is dedicated but not limited to the following qualified individuals: • Electrical Power Engineer • Licensed Electricians • Managers that must understand the Power Systems of the Substations • Electrical Safety Inspectors • Any other individuals who are interested in this subject Jobs related to this course: • Substation Engineering • Protection Engineer • Substation Operator • Switching Authority • Contract Manager working on a Substation • Electrical Inspector
