The future of the electrical grid depends on well-designed substations. As AI, data centers, renewable energy and electrification continue to drive record demand for power, engineers with expertise in substation design are playing an increasingly important role in building and modernizing the infrastructure that keeps electricity flowing.
The Substation Design Certificate focuses on foundational knowledge and practical skills for contributing to modern substation projects. Through three courses covering substation design fundamentals, schematics and distribution systems, you’ll gain the technical understanding needed to support projects from concept through implementation.
Work with our experienced instructors, who are engineers themselves, to apply proven practices to real-world power system challenges.
Learning Outcomes
- Analyze key electrical parameters and fundamental operations of power systems
