Course overview
Understanding basic power distribution fundamentals is key to a reliable bulk power system. Being familiar with terminology, system voltages, power plants, and substations is key to avoiding issues and events on the grid. The Introduction to Distribution Systems training course discusses basic electrical terminology and addresses Faraday's Law and concepts. It explains electrical load characteristics for the bulk electric system. It also describes bulk electrical power systems including power plants, substations, and electrical safety. This course is part of the Distribution Systems training series.
