Distribution Line Technician Co-Op
Barrie
- Used in house computer software to develop electrical distribution system load flow models- Used models alongside power system analysis tools to evaluate the impacts of new load additions, such as subdivisions, warehouses and generators to the distribution system- Optimised the load distribution and operating configuration of the system by applying 3-phase current balancing, voltage regulation, power factor improvement and more- Determined electrical fault/short-circuit levels to evaluate and specify distribution system protection devices including fuses, reclosers, breakers and relaysCarried out technical studies on Hydro One's electrical distribution system, including power lines, transformer stations and any other devices on the transmission line, while providing recommendations to: - Optimise the distribution system's configuration and loading- Evaluate impacts of new and existing loads- Specify distribution system protection devices
