Electrical Power Distribution

L&T EduTech via Coursera

Overview

This is an application-oriented course explaining the various aspects of power distribution, indoor and outdoor equipment up to 33kV. The course adopts a cross-disciplinary approach to ensure that the learners understand site execution, testing and commissioning. Throughout the course, safety aspects have been emphasized in every area of work. This course blends with conceptual knowledge covering the latest technological trends like SCADA & automation. This course helps learners know the Electrical distribution system and master as a Construction Engineer/Planning Engineer and Commissioning Engineer . This course gives the learners insights about: 1. Electrical distribution methods 2. Types of loads 3. Green Field Construction of Overhead Lines 4. Distribution Line Components 5. Concepts of Auto reclosers and Sectionalizes 6. SCADA in detail

Syllabus

  • Types & Methods of Distribution
    • Let's begin this course by knowing the Distribution Lines, the Primary and Secondary Distribution Types, all the data that is required for good distribution system design, and the types of the distribution lines.
  • Types of loads & Distribution of Power
    • Before we learn about the distribution lines construction, its very important to know the types of consumers, the load details and the losses that occur. This helps to design and implement an efficient distribution system. This module covers all those details that is required before we go for distribution line design.
  • Green Field Construction of OH Lines
    • This modules covers aspects of Green Field Construction of Overhead Lines. It takes a tour from selection of the equipment to testing, installation and commissioning.
  • Distribution Line - Components
    • This modules covers all the components of a Distribution line. This ranges from in detailed topics on Poles, Structures, Insulators and Conductors, Aerially Bunched cables, Lightening Arrestor and Horn Gap Fuse.
  • Auto reclosers/Sectionalisers
    • This module gives a overview of how systems like Autoreclosure and Sectionalizers can be implemented across sections of distribution system to reduce downtime by finding the faults at earliest, quickly isolate faulty areas from healthy areas and restore power to the affected customers after fault clearance
  • OH Distribution Line Components
    • This module covers a detailed study about recent technologies in distribution lines : Ring Main Unit (RMU), Compact Substation (CSS) and Feeder Remote Terminal Unit (FRTU).
  • SCADA in detail
    • Distribution System has be always upgrading to reduce the down time. Thus the need for automation arises and addition of SCADA is a boon to the distribution system. This module covers all the aspects of understanding SCADA in detail from the architecture to the peripherals and the protocols. This module discusses about Fibre Optics in detail. This also covers IED & FRTU in SCADA and Automatic Metering Infrastructure.
