Substation Operation and Maintenance - Virtual Learning
This Substation Operation and Maintenance training course will include the design and maintenance culture related to substations to optimize its operations, performance and security. The fundamental designs of substations have not shifted but the roles with digital technologies have gained great presence in the performance and optimization of the substation maintenance strategies.
The salient equipment installed in the substation like the transformers and circuit breakers incorporates ecofriendly components and outperforms the predecessor models and technologies. Protection parameters of equipment are more comprehensive, which includes lightning and surge protection. In this digital era the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) and robotics, has elevated the level of maintenance tasks beyond human capabilities. Instrumentations with remote monitoring capabilities enhance the stability and security of the substations.
This Gulf Rowad Substation Operation and Maintenance training course will highlight:
The fundamental design and roles of a substation
The key roles of the main substation equipment
Importance of protection systems within the substation
Artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT) and robotics relevance in the substation operations
Remote monitoring of substation assets
