Electrical & Power Engineering Training Courses > HV & MV Power System Design, Protection & Coordination - Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)

About this Training

Power System Analysis is an essential part of electrical power system design. Load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, and protection coordination are necessary to verify that the electrical system including the system components, are correctly specified to perform as intended, withstand expected stress, and be protected against failures.

Power system protection of various electrical equipment and apparatus requires good understanding of phase and ground short circuit currents, detection, and safe clearing of the faulted equipment. Good design & coordination of electric power protection systems is vital to safety, maintenance, troubleshooting and efficient operation of electrical systems and modern industrial plants.

This 5 half-days training course addresses all aspects of industrial & utility power systems, including system planning, equipment selection, specification and application, system grounding, protection and conformity with electrical code requirements etc.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Improve your knowledge of power system design, planning, analysis, protective device applications & relay schemes for safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems and equipment
  • Minimize adverse impacts of power trips through effective protection grading and coordination
  • Develop your own relay settings and thoroughly understand the philosophy of protective systems for substations, transformers, switchgears/circuit breakers, feeders, motors, generators, etc.
  • Gain valuable insights through actual cases illustrating various techniques in present use and highlighting particular approaches used by experienced system designers
  • Troubleshoot power system protection problems commonly faced by industry and adopt recommended solutions which have proven successful
  • Understand how to apply microprocessor-based multi-function relays on protection of various power system equipment and apparatus
  • Discuss the challenges on power system design and protection posed by renewable energy sources, independent power producers, micro-grids & smart grids

The course is recommended for anyone who is involved in designing, selecting, sizing, specifying, installing, testing, operating and maintaining power systems:

  • Power protection engineers
  • Power system design and integration
  • Electrical maintenance engineers
  • Automation engineers
  • Electrical & instrumentation

Learn what past participants have said about EnergyEdge training courses

The event is very good, will recommend it to any of my colleagues.

Schneider Electric

It was very interesting and informative and the trainer was quite good and knowledgeable. He always tried to explain every bit of things to our level.

Chevron

Very Interesting and informative. A lot learnt through a short space of me.

GE Energy Industrial Solutions

The event was well organised.

Tullow Oil

The event is quite engaging and interactive.

Shell Petroleum Development Company

The training on HV & MV Power System Design, Protection and Coordination through energyEDGE was very informative. The content was well structured to introduce each topic at a basic level to build into great technical knowledge of HV and MV power systems. I would highly recommend this program to anyone starting in an electrical position that works on or designs HV and MV electrical systems.
