Substations represent the most important junction in the electric power system; generation switchyard, transmission, sub-transmission, distribution, unit, customer, and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are important substation types that make up the electric grid. Substations represent the most expensive property in the utility system that includes very expensive equipment, such as power transformers, instrument transformers, breakers, capacitors, shunt reactors, switches, SCADA, and relays. Nowadays, data and big data play critical roles in the energy world to transform substations into intelligent substations; monitoring devices and advanced cameras are installed at critical substations to reduce O&M, extend the life of various components, and prevent damage.
This Webinar is intended for electrical, renewable, and sustainability engineers as well as others interested in learning more about intelligent substations.

Fairly good – spent time on the ramifications of the problem and not as much on solutions, but then these are technically new and urgently needed, when utilities are not tax-funded businesses. Lecturer seemed hurried and slide control was a bit jumpy. But he knew his stuff, and I’m glad I took this course.
Really very good. Nice progression from introduction to substations, substation components, functions of components, monitoring and collection of data with sensors and PMUs, how data will be used for O&M/Life Cycle Assessment/Predictive Failure/Switching, then discussion of the future impact of climate change, cybersecurity, DERs, etc.
This was very well done. The instructor was obviously an expert in the field and passionate about the subject. Lots of great discussion for experienced utility and electrical engineers, but also somewhat accessible for those not as familiar.
The focus was more on general substation functionality and operation rather than the automation aspects. Therefore, it was not quite as advertised. As far as the subject matter covered, presentation was very good.
The presentation was good. The website, not so much
