The course covers three days. The first day starts with an introduction of why HVDC is increasingly applied in power systems. HVDC LCC technology and its main applications are explained, including the associated DC and AC equipment, followed by VSC technology. This substation day concludes with a control system module for both LCC and VSC. The second day is devoted to cables, both sub-terrain and sub-sea, from specification to commissioning and failure investigations. Day three of the course covers overhead lines, including conversion of HVAC lines to HVDC.
Result:
