How electrical power is generated, transmitted, transformed, protected, distributed, and controlled through real-world utility and industrial power systems — generation, substations, transmission, protection, SCADA, and commissioning as one integrated curriculum.
20 modules and 5 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, drawings, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
Generation → transmission → distribution, three-phase systems, voltage-level hierarchy, grid stability, interconnections, and utility operations.
Thermal, combined-cycle, hydro, nuclear, solar, wind, BESS, diesel, cogeneration, and microgrids — operating principles and grid integration.
The program’s hallmark module — grid inertia, per-unit system, black start, N-1 reliability, differential vs. distance protection, and more.
Transformer theory, CTs/VTs, cooling methods, tap changers, testing, oil systems, and condition monitoring.
AIS, GIS, and hybrid substation types, bus configurations, breakers, disconnects, surge arresters, capacitor banks, and grounding.
Overcurrent, differential, distance, bus, transformer, generator, and motor protection, breaker failure, and synchronizing.
Time-current coordination, relay settings, coordination studies, arc flash studies, and CT/VT selection.
SCADA architecture, RTUs, IEDs, HMI, historian, IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus, and IEC 60870-5-104.
Generator excitation, synchronization, auxiliary power, generator breakers, GSU transformers, and black-start systems.
Load flow, short-circuit, voltage-drop, motor starting, harmonic, ground grid, stability, and reliability analysis — with worked examples.
Single-line and three-line diagrams, protection schematics, relay wiring, cable schedules, and ground grid drawings.
Transformer, breaker, relay, and cable testing, primary/secondary injection, ground grid testing, and energization procedures.
One-line basis, transformer and switchgear selection, protection philosophy, and an IEEE 80 ground grid design.
A 100 MWac collector system, inverter selection, step-up transformers, and grid-forming vs. grid-following protection philosophy.
Gas and steam turbine generator systems, auxiliary power, synchronization, and generator step-up transformer sizing.
Generator protection, governor droop and frequency response, excitation systems, and transmission interconnection.
A main substation, MCC distribution tier, emergency generation, selective coordination, and an arc-flash assessment.
Preventive and predictive maintenance, oil testing, thermography, partial discharge, and asset management.
Utility-scale solar and wind, battery storage, grid-forming inverters, and microgrid/smart grid integration.
Utility, IEEE, and IEC standards, protection philosophies, design reports, and FAT/SAT procedures.
A downloadable kit of 12 real project templates, from load flow study worksheets to commissioning checklists.
A final design assignment, drawing-interpretation and fault-analysis exercises, a grading rubric, and your certificate of completion.
12 real project templates — load flow, short-circuit, and relay coordination study worksheets, an IEEE 80 ground grid design worksheet, power transformer and switchgear specification checklists, a SCADA I/O list template, a protection settings record, FAT/SAT and commissioning/energization checklists, a cable schedule template, and an RFI template. Available for download from Module 19 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: relay setting spreadsheets, one-line diagram CAD blocks, and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
