About this Classroom Training
The rapid evolution of electrical networks driven by large-scale electrification, renewable energy integration, grid, and increasingly complex industrial loads has placed unprecedented demands on High Voltage (HV) and Medium Voltage (MV) power system design, protection, and coordination. Utilities, industrial operators, and infrastructure owners are under growing pressure to deliver safe, reliable, resilient, and compliant power systems while managing higher fault levels, and safety requirements. In today’s operating environment, power system engineers must go beyond traditional design practices. The widespread deployment of renewable energy sources and independent power producers (IPPs), has introduced new protection challenges, including reduced fault currents, protection blinding, coordination complexity, and system stability concerns. At the same time, the transition toward microprocessor-based multifunction relays, requires engineers to possess strong analytical capability combined with practical, application-focused experience.
This 4-day comprehensive training will provide participants with a structured, end-to-end understanding of modern power system analysis, including load flow, short-circuit calculations, grounding design, and protection philosophy development for utility and industrial environments. Emphasis is placed on protection coordination, relay setting principles, and system selectivity, ensuring that protection schemes operate correctly under both normal and faulted conditions. Aligned with real-world engineering practice, the course combines theory with practical case studies, calculation exercises, and interactive discussions, allowing participants to directly apply concepts to feeders, buses, transformers, generators, motors, and transmission lines. Special focus is given to renewable integration and multisource systems, addressing how evolving grid architectures impact protection schemes, coordination margins, and operational reliability. By the end of this course, participants will be better equipped to design, analyse, and protect HV and MV power systems that meet modern safety standards, minimise unplanned outages, and remain robust in the face of future grid developments.
This course will be delivered face-to-face over 4-day sessions, comprising of 8 hours per day, 1 hour lunch and 2 breaks of 15 minutes per day. Course Duration: 26 hours in total, 26 CPD points.

Medium Voltage (MV) systems typically operate between 1 kV and 33 kV and are widely used for industrial distribution, substations, and large facilities. High Voltage (HV) systems operate above 33 kV and are primarily used for bulk power transmission and large utility networks. The main differences lie in insulation requirements, protection complexity, fault levels, equipment ratings, and safety considerations. HV systems require more advanced protection schemes, coordination studies, and stricter grounding and clearance standards due to higher energy levels and risk.
Protection coordination ensures that the protective device closest to a fault operates first, isolating only the affected section while keeping the rest of the system energised. Poor coordination can cause widespread outages, equipment damage, or safety hazards. In HV and MV networks, coordination must account for short-circuit levels, relay characteristics, fuse curves, breaker operating times, and system configurations. Proper coordination improves system reliability, selectivity, safety, and compliance with utility and international standards.
Key components include current transformers (CTs), voltage transformers (VTs), protective relays, circuit breakers, fuses, and communication systems. Modern systems predominantly use microprocessor-based multifunction relays that combine protection, control, monitoring, and diagnostics. Protection schemes are applied to feeders, buses, transformers, generators, motors, and transmission lines, using functions such as overcurrent, differential, distance, ground fault, and voltage/frequency protection.
Renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind often contribute lower and variable fault currents compared to conventional generation. This can lead to protection blinding, reduced sensitivity, and coordination challenges. Inverter-based resources also introduce fast control dynamics and bidirectional power flows. As a result, protection design increasingly relies on adaptive settings, communication-assisted schemes, and advanced relays to maintain selectivity, reliability, and system stability in multi-source and microgrid environments.
Microprocessor-based relays offer high accuracy, multiple protection functions, event recording, disturbance analysis, and remote communication in a single device. They simplify system design and improve visibility into network performance. However, they require careful configuration, cybersecurity measures, and skilled personnel for settings and maintenance. Incorrect settings or communication failures can affect system performance, making thorough testing and coordination studies essential.
Short-circuit studies determine fault current levels to ensure equipment ratings, breaker interrupting capacity, and protection sensitivity are adequate. Load flow studies analyse voltage profiles, power losses, and loading under normal and contingency conditions. Together, these studies form the foundation of safe and reliable system design, influencing equipment selection, grounding methods, relay settings, and future expansion planning in both utility and industrial power systems.
Grounding design controls touch and step voltages during fault conditions, protecting personnel and equipment. It also influences ground fault current magnitude and protection sensitivity. Common grounding methods include solid, resistance, reactance, and isolated grounding, each with different impacts on fault behavior and system reliability. Proper grounding design is essential to meet safety standards, ensure effective fault detection, and minimise damage during earth faults.
Key trends include increased use of digital substations, IEC 61850 communication, wide-area protection, adaptive relay settings, and integration of real-time data analytics. As grids evolve toward smart grids and decentralised generation, protection systems are becoming more communication-driven and software-centric. Future protection strategies focus on resilience, cybersecurity, interoperability, and the ability to handle complex, multi-source power system architectures.
