Electrical Engineers specializing in substations play a critical role in the power distribution and transmission industry in the United States. They are responsible for designing, maintaining, and upgrading electrical substations, ensuring the reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. With several years of experience in the U.S. power utility sector, I bring deep expertise in planning, implementing, and upgrading substations to meet the growing demands of the modern electric grid. My work focuses on ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in transmission and distribution networks across urban and rural environments.
Responsibility of Electrical Engineer in Electrical Substation
Career Highlights
Led the design and commissioning of a 230/69kV substation for a major utility in Texas, improving grid reliability for over 50,000 customers.
Developed relay settings and coordination studies for over 15 substations across the Midwest using SEL relays and ETAP.
Spearheaded integration of IEC 61850-based substation automation in a greenfield project, reducing maintenance time by 30%.
Substation Design & Engineering
Create detailed designs for new substations or upgrades (e.g., 69kV, 138kV, 230kV, 500kV).
Develop one-line diagrams, three-line diagrams, panel layouts, and wiring schematics.
Specify equipment such as power transformers, circuit breakers, CTs, PTs, busbars, and insulators.
Ensure compliance with NEC, NESC, IEEE, and NERC standards.
Protection & Control (P&C)
Configure protective relays (SEL, GE Multilin, ABB, etc.).
Perform relay coordination studies to ensure correct fault detection and isolation.
Work with SCADA and RTU systems for substation automation and remote control.
System Studies & Analysis
Conduct short circuit, load flow, arc flash, and grounding studies using software like:
ETAP
SKM PowerTools
Aspen OneLiner
Perform analysis to ensure safe operation under normal and faulted conditions.
Project Management
Coordinate with other disciplines (civil, structural, telecom).
Review submittals, BOMs, and shop drawings.
Monitor construction activities and ensure adherence to engineering plans.
Testing & Commissioning
Support FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing).
Assist field engineers and technicians in relay testing, equipment energization, and troubleshooting.
Maintenance & Upgrades
Evaluate performance of existing substations.
Recommend and implement retrofits or upgrades for aging infrastructure.
Education & Certifications
Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (ABET-accredited program).
Professional Engineer (PE) License – often required or preferred.
EIT (Engineer-in-Training) certification for entry-level engineers.
OSHA 30, NERC CIP, or NFPA 70E certification for safety compliance.
IEEE membership is common for staying current with industry standards.
Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in trading linis or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My blog goes over a lot of the same topics as yours
