Substations Automation Systems
COURSE DURATION
1 Day
CLASS DESCRIPTION
Perhaps more than other industries, engineering for energy has become an increasingly complex process with demands for digitalisation and interconnected services and products in increasing. Thus, a fundamental understanding of utitilies applications and energy digitalisation is essential for all systems engineers working in this domain.
The course provides the basics of substations’ and substation automation systems architecture and components, their role in power grid operation. It also shows the basics of data acquisition, communication and control for SAS systems, and gives an overview of the main telecommunication and modelling standards. Providing the main information about Digital Substations, it allows to understand the impacts, chances and risks digitalisation brings to the SAS.
