Description:
The objective of this course is to introduce students to the details of designing an industrial energy distribution network from start to finish. It covers everything from designing input substations and connecting to the mainline to internal distribution within a 20 kV network. Additionally, the course provides a brief overview of power generation and various types of power plants, as well as a basic understanding of energy transmission lines.
Syllabus:
- Generation: A general overview of various types of power plants and production methods
- Transmission: A high-level review of energy transmission, line parameters, standard voltages, and optimal voltages based on power and distance.
- Distribution:
- An overview of distribution network topologies for 20 kV industrial distribution networks and the design of 20 kV/400 substations.
- Design of internal substations, including high-voltage equipment (20 kV switches, transformers) and low-voltage equipment (parallel transformer connections, calculations for LV and HV switches, protections, and interlocks). Also, considerations for protection equipment for transformers, short-circuit currents, and relays. Communication tunnels and channels within internal substations.
- Power Factor Correction Methods: Calculations and design of capacitor banks, control system design, relay switching, and economic discussions related to power factor correction.
- Grounding Network Calculations and Design: Calculations for grounding network connections, grounding wells, and protection against leakage currents in single-phase and three-phase systems.
- Cable and Communication Conductor Calculations: Calculations for energy distribution cables and communication conductors, cross-sectional area calculations following European VDE and American NEC standards, cable tunnel calculations, voltage drops, and cable arrangement considering field effects.
- Illumination Calculations and Design: An overview of light physics, familiarity with lamp structures, efficiency, spectra, and lighting calculations and designs.
- Switching and Control Circuit Design: Design of control circuits using contactors and relays.
- Automated Control Circuit Design Using PLC: Introduction to ladder logic language and programming.
- Problem and Project: Application of the learned concepts to practical problems and projects.
