Most electrical power transmission involves a 3-phase HVAC system. The reasons for choosing HVDC rather than HVAC in a specific case are very complex. Through this modular two-day HVDC training course, DNV GL responds to the need for more knowledge and understanding regarding this subject.

MORE ABOUT THE COURSE

The course covers two days. The first day starts with an introduction to why HVDC is increasingly applied in power systems. HVDC LCC technology and its main applications are explained, including the controls and associated DC and AC equipment. On day two, the substation day is followed by VSC technology with a control system module for VSC and associated AC and equipment specification, including commissioning and failure investigations. The equipment technology session leads on to the case study workshop focusing on a practical project example. Coming immediately after our HVDC converter training, this technologies course completes the overview HVDC systems.

FOR WHOM?

The course is intended for employees of TSOs, engineering and construction companies and manufacturers, but may also be of interest to wind project developers, consultants, managers or others requiring knowledge about the building blocks of HVDC. A background in electrical power engineering is required
