Power system plant transports electrical energy from the generating sources to the consumers, and includes transformers, cables, overhead lines, switchgear, and the control and monitoring equipment that ensures power quality and resilience. The basic principles and key issues in designing the plant and ensuring the operational and maintenance strategies are appropriate for a resilient smart grid future are discussed in the module. It also introduces the concept of plant digital twins. This uses condition monitoring data, in conjunction with integrated simulation models, to evaluate the thermal, electrical, mechanical and chemical properties of the plant, and assess failure-risk and life-expectancy.
