GENERATION, TRANSMISSION, AND DISTRIBUTION
Introduction to Transmission and Distribution Systems
(TDITD)
Formats: Video
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this unit is to teach trainees how transmission and distribution systems generally deliver to customers the power produced by power plants. The unit describes how the major components of a typical transmission and distribution system function and how electricity flows through these components on its journey from the power plant to customer.
At the conclusion of this unit, trainees should have a basic understanding of how transmission and distribution systems operate. They should be able to identify the basic components of a transmission and distribution system and explain their functions. They should also be able to describe the flow path from a power plant, through a typical T&D system, to the customer.
OBJECTIVES
- Explain the basic functions of major components in T&D systems.
- Describe the function and general characteristics of power plants.
- Describe the function and basic components of switchyards.
- Describe the function and basic components of transmission lines.
- Describe the function and basic components of substations.
- Describe the function and basic components of distribution systems.
