Strategic Substation Operation

Electrical and Power Engineering|5 days|Classroom or live online

Strategic Substation Operation looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on transformer maintenance, variable speed drives and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because electrical incidents are among the few workplace risks that are immediately fatal. Delegates leave able to work confidently with cable fault location, standby generation and power factor correction in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Explain cable fault location to someone who does not do the work, measured against the Occupational Health and Safety Act
  • Bring standby generation into line with current good practice
  • Take ownership of power factor correction rather than escalating it
  • Improve condition monitoring within their own organisation
