United Power 115kV Substation Student Branch Visit

Broomfield, Colorado, United States

The IEEE Student Branches of the Denver Metropolitan Area will have a chance to tour a 115kV distribution substation owned by United Power. The tour will be guided by United Power's Engineering Director, Donald McDaniel and CU Denver graduate Cory van Duyne. The substation is located about 30min north of the CU Denver campus. We will be able to see a few breakers hooked up in a ring bus configuration, a few instrument transformers (CTs and PTs), a 115/13.2kV transformer and the control room that has a few protective relays and etc. There is also a new 8MW battery installation at the substation.
