The AC Power Transmission Training System combines a modular design approach with computer-based data acquisition and control to provide unrivaled training in ac power transmission systems to students having a basic knowledge in electric power technology (dc power circuits, single-phase ac power circuits, and single-phase power transformers). The system features the Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063, a state-of-the-art USB peripheral that greatly enhance the learning experience of students.

Training begins with the following two courses:

- Three-Phase AC Power Circuits

- Three-Phase Transformer Banks

These courses introduce students to the fundamentals of three-phase ac power circuits (wye and delta configurations, three-phase ac power measurement, phase sequence), as well as to the operating characteristics of three-phase transformer banks, which are an essential component in ac power transmission systems. Training continues with the main course of the AC Power Transmission Training System:

- AC Transmission Lines

This course is the core of the training system and introduces students to the characteristics and behavior of high-voltage ac transmission lines, as well as to the voltage compensation of these lines using switched shunt compensation (SSC). It covers a multitude of topics related to high-voltage transmission lines, such as voltage regulation characteristics, characteristic impedance, natural load, corrected PI equivalent circuit, power voltage curve, line length, and active power transmission.

The following four courses from the Electric Power Technology Training Program can be optionally added to the AC Power Transmission Training System to provide students with the basic knowledge of electric power technology required to study ac power transmission systems:

- DC Power Circuits

- Single-Phase AC Power Circuits

- Single-Phase Power Transformers

- Three-Phase Rotating Machines

These four courses familiarize the student with the fundamentals of dc power circuits and single-phase ac power circuits, as well as with the operating characteristics of single-phase power transformers and three-phase rotating machines (notably the three-phase synchronous generator).

The AC Power Transmission Training System is part of the Electric Power Technology Training Systems, Series 8010. Each training system in Series 8010 is based on the Electric Power Technology Training Program and provides a turn-key solution dealing with some aspects of the wide field of electrical energy. The exhaustive courseware provided with each training system covers all the theory required to perform the laboratory exercises, while review questions and unit tests allow students to test the knowledge they have gained.

The Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly modular in both courseware and hardware. Because of this, courses and equipment from the program are available as required, either individually or in the context of a specific training system. The program covers several different subjects in the field of electrical energy, such as rotating machines, electrical power transmission, power electronics, home energy production from renewable resources (wind and sunlight), large-scale electricity production from hydropower and wind power, smart-grid technologies (SVC, STATCOM, HVDC transmission, etc.), storage of electrical energy in batteries, and drive systems for small electric vehicles and cars.
