SUBSTATIONENGINEERING

COURSESargent & Lundys Power Delivery ServicesGroup conducts four days of training in substationdesign for our clients in the utility industry. Training isconducted in our Chicago, Illinois office by engineersengaged in substation design and engineering. Sincethe course was first introduced in 1994, it has beenattended by more than 1,000 utility professionalsfrom throughout the United States and overseas.

Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for utility engineers, projectmanagers and other professionals involved withsubstation projects. In particular, entry levelengineers or experienced professionals who are newto this area of the electric utility business will benefitfrom the course.

What You Will Learn

The 4-day course offers a comprehensive treatmentof the fundamentals of substation physical design,protection and control systems, civil/structural designand electrical testing and commissioning. The courses tailored to address specific tasks and applicationsof substation design. For example, in the groundingsession, course participants learn how to perform a

grounding calculation and lay out a ground grid. Inthe equipment session, each type of equipment isaddressed, the manufacturers currently supplyingeach type of equipment are identified, and therequirements for a complete technical equipmentspecification are discussed. Throughout the courseparticipants will complete calculation and designexercises, applying the principles learned. Eachattendee receives a supporting copy of all classroomexhibits for future reference.

Throughout all the sessions, new informationderived from recent experience on a wide varietyof projects, including enclosed GIS substationsn urban locations and extensive upgrades toexisting facilities is shared with the participants.

Course Fees...The 4-day course in Sargent & Lundys Chicago officeis offered at the cost of $1,875. The price will bereduced to $1,775 if payment is received by Sargent &Lundy one week prior to course start date. Credit cardpayment is now accepted through our website. The fee

covers supporting text, course materials, continentalbreakfasts and lunches.

Participants receive a certificate of completion and oneProfessional Development Hour for every 1 hour ofclassroom instruction. Refer to specific staterequirements for applicable Professional DevelopmentHour (PDH) credits. Utility on-site sessions for 15 ormore students are also available. Please call forinformation.
