In this presentation, we will explore Electric Power Delivery from the perspective of the applied practice of Power Engineering. We’ll start with a review of power system fundamentals. Next, we will define the various types of substations and describe their purposes. We’ll continuing by exploring transmission lines, which are the connections between substations to form “the grid.” Finally, we will review the various arrangements of substations that are typical in the power delivery space, exploring the pros and cons of each.
