HVDC Transmission Systems (0.9 CEUs)

Course Code: ELEC098
Date: 19 Jul - 20 Jul 2021
Location:

Education @ Your Desk. A Live Webinar Class means that you will attend the class via the web using your computer. There are scheduled breaks for coffee and lunch. You use a microphone, headset, or your phone and are able to interact with the instructor and other students while following notes while watching the presentation slides online just as you would in a live classroom. Notes are posted online. For an extra cost a hard copy can be requested.



The virtual classroom is becoming more and more popular, and we have a lot of experience teaching in this format. The only real difference between a live in-class and live via webinar is where you sit and what you look at. You can learn from the comfort of your own home or office. You pay less for the live webinar format than you would for the in-class format, and you do not have to travel to another city to attend the class. Please contact us at [email protected] for Special Group & Corporate Rates for one or more participants.

A certificate of completed Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be granted at the end of this course. Continuing Education Unit (CEU)

Daily Schedule:

8:00am - Registration and coffee (1st day only)
8:30am - Session begins
4:30pm - Adjournment
 
Description 
This course will provide an in-depth overview of major HVDC system components; design and analyses of HVDC six and twelve-pulse valve group arrangements; principles of HVDC power system controls and protections; and harmonic characteristics in HVDC systems and filter design consideration.
HVDC transmission is a complicated engineering and design challenge. This is an ideal course for engineers new to HVDC transmission projects, regulatory staff that needs an overview to evaluate project options, and vendors and contractors that support utilities as they build new HVDC transmission systems.
 
Objective
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems are becoming more and more important in an energy landscape that is characterized by long distance overhead transmission lines, buried cables or submarine cables. This is attributable to their advantages such as bulk power transmission with lower energy loss, interconnection of asynchronous networks, and enhance network stability with varying load dynamics. The objectives are to develop the knowledge and understanding of HVDC transmission and HVDC converters, and the applicability and advantage of HVDC transmission over conventional AC transmission.
 
Target Audience
The course is intended for those who do not work directly on HVDC converters such as supervisors, engineers, electricians, technicians and technologists, and also to those in the engineering and construction companies and manufacturers, wind project developers, consultants, and others who require an in-depth understanding of the various building blocks of HVDC including their applications and operations.
 
Upon successful completion of this course, the participants will have reliably demonstrated the ability to:
  • Understand the basics of HVDC transmission, its applicability and benefits of HVDC transmission over conventional AC transmission
  • Able to differentiate operating principles between rectifiers, converters and inverters in six and twelve-pulse valve group arrangements using semi-conductors
  • Know DC link control for HVDC systems and use it to regulate power flows through the DC link
  • Use the knowledge in harmonics to analyze harmonics coming from the AC and DC sides of the converter station and design appropriate filters
  • Understand the nature of faults on both AC and DC sides of the converters and devise protection schemes
  • Understand construction and characteristics of HVDC overhead transmission lines, land and submarine cables and know when and where to apply them
  • Analyze steady-state behavior of small-size HVDC transmission network systems using Siemens/PTI PSS/E Power Flows software tool, and
  • Pursue a career in HVDC systems operation, planning, and design, and/or conduct post-graduate research on HVDC systems.
