Course info

This laboratory and design course serves as the practical application component for Distribution Systems and Substation Design. It focuses on the hands-on modeling, simulation, and drafting of electrical power distribution networks and substation facilities. Utilizing modern power system simulation software (e.g., ETAP, MATLAB, Python) and computer-aided drafting (CAD) tools, students will design primary and secondary distribution systems, perform load flow and voltage drop analyses, and execute short-circuit and protection coordination simulations. The course culminates in the practical drafting of single-line diagrams and physical substation layouts, ensuring all designs strictly comply with the Philippine Electrical Code (PEC), IEEE Standards, and realistic economic and environmental constraints.
