On Thursday, May 2, 2024, the Faculty of Engineering organized an Industrial Tour to the Rampura 230 KV/132 KV Substation, located in Jahurul Islam Project, Aftab Nagar, Dhaka, Rampura, Dhaka. A group of 36 enthusiastic students along with 2 faculty members- Dr. Muhibul Haque Bhuyan (Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) and Dr. Md. Hasan Imam (Associate Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB) visited the substation.
The students were taken to the 132 KV and 230 KV substations. They were guided by the senior engineers of the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB). The engineers provided the students with first-hand knowledge of the transmission, distribution, protection, and switchgear systems used in the production of electric power. Later the students were brought to the control room, where several PLCs were being used to monitor the entire system of stepping down the 230 KV to 132 KV. Afterwards, the engineers of PGCB answered various questions asked by the students. The students expressed their heartfelt gratitude towards the authority of the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) for their tremendous support and cooperation. The tour ended with a group photo with all the authorities and engineers, respected faculties, and the participants. It was a great learning experience and successful tour for the engineering students.
