AMATEUR INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

 

In the summer break of 2013, I visited Gujarat State Electricity Transmission Company 220kV Nyara substation in Rajkot, India. I attained first-hand information about energy distribution while witnessing it simultaneously. Assisting the engineers in the control room and recording the instrument notifications provided me a preview of the electrical and instrumentation industry sector. The highlights included the switch yard trip, safety briefing, control room experience and information sharing with other substations using transmission relays and SCADA system (Sequential Control And Data Acquisition).
