Transmission System Design Project 456/457: Students are
given a system with transmission, load, and generation data.
The base system is modified by the addition of a new load
and new growth in the rest of the system. A design of a
revised transmission system is made and updated through
several phases. At the end of each phase, a formal design
report is written. Parts of the design include: selection
of transmission structures, selection of conductors, cost
analysis, power flow test of the design, single contingency
testing of the design, fault current calculations, relay
settings, etc.
