Gas Insulated Substation Definitions and Basics
This online engineering PDH course presents the fundamental GIS technology, related voltages and insulation levels, GIS availability and reliability, substation arrangements and design as well as power system and financial considerations.
When determining between AIS or GIS technology, some elements alone, for example aesthetics, may be an overcoming impact on a user’s conclusion. Nevertheless, most of the time the best conclusion asks for assessing many elements and soliciting input data from many sections within an investor’s organization. It is also critical to note that the optimal substation arrangement may not be solely AIS or GIS. Sometimes a mix of the two (i.e., hybrid or mixed-technology) might be the best arrangement.
This 4 PDH online course is suitable for engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) technology.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the fundamental GIS terminology
- Learning about rated voltages and insulation levels
- Learning about GIS availability and reliability
- Knowing the operating principles
- Learning about substation arrangements and design
- Understanding the power system considerations
- Understanding the financial considerations
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document which is based on IEEE and IEC standards and established practice for design and operation of GIS substations.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty five (35) questions to earn 5 PDH credits.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
