- List the benefits of transforming power to higher voltages
- Recall the terms System Operating Limits (SOL), and Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits (IROL)
- Define normal operating conditions and contingency operations
- Identify events tat affect voltage

- Recall the purpose of system protection and protective relays
- Identify the equipment used to monitor and protect the system
Course overview
Power is generated, transmitted, and delivered when it is needed. After it is produced at power plants, it must be delivered to the end user. Delivery happens through various methods including high-voltage transmission systems, lower voltage transmission lines, distribution lines, insulated underground cables, and pipe-line cables. Our country is crisscrossed with power lines that carry electricity. The Transmission, Substations, and System Protection training course discusses how electricity moves through transmission lines by looking at their characteristics. It defines normal operating conditions and contingency operations. It also identifies events that affect voltage and system reliability. This online course is part of the System Operations training series.
