765 kV Substation Planning and Execution – From Concept to Commissioning Online Course For Saudi Arabia Professionals
Language: ENGLISH
Instructors: BHADANIS SUBSTATION ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT ONLINE TRAINING
Validity Period: 365 days
Why this course?
Saudi Arabia’s rapid infrastructure growth has created an enormous demand for high-voltage transmission systems capable of handling massive power flows across long distances. With industrial cities expanding, renewable energy zones emerging, and regional interconnections strengthening, the need for efficiently planned and executed 765 kV substations has never been greater.
This course—“765 kV Substation Planning and Execution – From Concept to Commissioning as per Saudi Arabia Standards”—is designed specifically for civil engineers, electrical engineers, planning engineers, project managers, and professionals working in Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Royal Commission projects, Aramco power systems, and EPC contractors handling high-voltage infrastructure works.
It bridges the complete lifecycle of a substation project—from the pre-construction feasibility and design stage to execution, testing, commissioning, and post-handover maintenance. Learners will gain a deep understanding of each stage of the substation’s journey, integrating technical precision with project management discipline, all aligned with Saudi standards, climatic conditions, and operational requirements.
A 765 kV substation is a large-scale, high-voltage facility critical for transmitting power from generation stations to regional distribution grids. These substations are complex, capital-intensive, and demand an exceptional level of planning and engineering coordination.
Saudi Arabia’s national grid—spread over thousands of kilometers—relies on ultra-high-voltage networks to minimize transmission losses, enhance reliability, and support future renewable energy expansion under the Saudi Vision 2030 framework.
This course was developed to train and upskill Saudi professionals to handle every dimension of such projects—from site selection and layout planning to quality assurance and system commissioning—ensuring projects meet both technical and regulatory benchmarks.
The first part of the course focuses on conceptual and pre-construction planning, which is the backbone of any successful substation project.
Engineers learn how to evaluate potential substation sites based on soil strength, accessibility, proximity to load centers, and environmental sensitivity. Saudi terrain often includes rocky zones, desert regions, and saline soils; therefore, participants are taught practical methods to assess foundation stability and drainage planning under such conditions.
Participants understand how to create single-line diagrams (SLDs), decide on busbar configurations (double main bus, breaker-and-a-half, or ring bus), and align the layout to meet Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) standards. They also learn how to optimize land usage without compromising on safety clearances and maintenance accessibility.
The course emphasizes the importance of design basis reports (DBRs) and references to international standards such as IEC, IEEE, and Saudi Electrical Standards (SASO). Coordination with grid codes, protection schemes, and reactive power control requirements is also covered.
Saudi substations demand rugged civil infrastructure that can withstand extreme heat, sandstorms, and temperature variations. The course explains:
Foundation designs for transformers, gantries, and equipment structures
Civil layouts for control buildings, cable trenches, and boundary walls
Drainage, access roads, and fire separation zones as per local safety norms
Planning engineers and civil professionals learn to prepare BOQs (Bill of Quantities) for substation civil works, ensuring material estimation, concrete mix planning, and structural detailing align with site-specific demands.
Substation projects involve high-value equipment like 765 kV transformers, circuit breakers, isolators, and busbars. This section of the course teaches how to:
Prepare technical specifications for procurement
Evaluate vendor bids based on compliance and lifecycle cost
Manage delivery schedules and interface timelines
Planning engineers will also learn resource allocation and scheduling techniques, breaking down project timelines into foundation works, equipment erection, cable laying, and testing milestones.
By the end of this section, participants will understand how to develop and monitor realistic work programs for substation execution under Saudi project conditions.
Once planning is done, the actual execution begins. This is where technical discipline meets field challenges.
Modules under this phase provide detailed practical insights into civil, mechanical, and electrical construction at substation sites.
Participants learn how to establish site offices, storage facilities, access roads, and safety setups as per Saudi Aramco Construction Safety Manual (CSM) and SEC HSE guidelines.
Special focus is given to managing extreme heat conditions, emergency evacuation routes, and worker welfare facilities.
Civil engineers learn step-by-step execution—from excavation, formwork, reinforcement, concreting, to backfilling.
Proper sequencing and quality control of concrete works are explained, including tests such as cube strength, slump, and curing checks.
Electrical engineers study the proper procedures for transformer placement, breaker erection, and alignment of gantry structures. Techniques for tensioning conductors, sag calculation, and torque checks are practically discussed.
The course includes lessons on control cable routing, termination, labeling, and megger testing. Engineers also learn how to manage HV power cables, ensuring bending radius, gland sealing, and insulation testing conform to international norms.
A major focus is placed on earthing system design and installation. Learners are taught to calculate grid resistance values, choose conductor sizes, and ensure lightning mast coverage using shielding angle methods—critical for desert storm-prone Saudi sites.
No substation project can be considered successful without strict quality assurance and safety adherence.
Participants are trained to implement Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), conduct routine field inspections, and prepare quality documentation aligned with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and ISO standards.
Safety officers and project managers benefit from modules covering:
Work permit systems for high-voltage activities
PPE requirements and confined space protocols
Emergency procedures and waste disposal methods
This ensures that engineers can lead teams with professional safety culture while maintaining productivity on fast-track projects.
This phase is critical—it transforms a construction site into a live, operational electrical substation.
Engineers are guided through detailed field tests such as insulation resistance (IR), winding ratio, polarity, and contact resistance.
Participants learn how to document and interpret results for acceptance as per SEC’s Transmission Commissioning Guidelines.
The course explains how to set and verify relay logics, coordinate with SCADA and communication systems, and perform end-to-end testing to validate interlocks and protections.
Learners gain confidence in handling the first energization process—including control room coordination, synchronizing procedures, and load run checks.
The emphasis is on teamwork among protection engineers, control engineers, and project managers during the critical energization window.
Participants understand the importance of preparing as-built layouts, cable schedules, and O&M manuals before handover.
They also learn to compile a final commissioning dossier, a key requirement for client acceptance in Saudi projects.
Substation work doesn’t end with energization. Long-term reliability and maintenance determine whether a project truly succeeds.
Professionals learn to design periodic inspection schedules, maintain logbooks, and manage spare parts inventory for transformers, circuit breakers, and auxiliary systems.
Practical sessions explain how to monitor transformer oil quality, SF6 gas density, and partial discharge signals—ensuring early fault detection and prevention of major breakdowns.
This includes load flow and voltage regulation studies, reliability assessments, and efficiency optimization.
By mastering these aspects, participants are prepared to enhance system stability and extend equipment life.
This course is built around the specific challenges and requirements of the Saudi Arabian power and infrastructure sector:
