On Friday, 26 June 2026, fourth-year students from the Bachelor of Engineering Program in Electrical Engineering School of Engineering University of Phayao, participated in a technical field study at the University's 115-kV Gas Insulated Substation (GIS). The visit was organized to enhance students' academic knowledge and provide hands-on learning experiences in a real-world electric power system environment.
The session was conducted by Mr.Tanawit Sriduangkham Head of the Utilities and Maintenance Unit, Division of Buildings and Grounds, University of Phayao. He delivered a comprehensive lecture covering the operating principles of the GIS substation, the configuration and components of high-voltage electrical equipment, as well as inspection procedures, preventive maintenance practices, and system management strategies required to ensure efficient, reliable, and safe operation.
The field study also provided students with the opportunity to observe actual electrical equipment and power system infrastructure in operation, engage in technical discussions, and exchange professional knowledge directly with experienced practitioners. This practical learning experience strengthened their understanding of electric power systems, including system design, operation, and maintenance of high-voltage substations. Furthermore, it effectively bridged theoretical knowledge with engineering practice, preparing students for their future careers as professional electrical engineers while reinforcing the practical competencies essential for the modern power industry.
