This course covers the fundamentals of HVDC transmission in electrical networks including HVDC transmission system concepts, components, and equipment and their characteristics/controls. Project management concepts required for HVDC are presented. When applicable, the concepts presented are reinforced with several PSCAD simulation workshops. Case studies will be applied in detail to highlight practical situations encountered by engineers in the field.

Duration: 3 Days
(Custom courses available for up to 4.5 Days)

Who should attend?

This course is intended for practising engineers, graduate students, and researchers in power systems and power electronics, who are interested in HVDC transmission and controls, as well as developing an in-depth understanding of the modern tools available for the analysis of transient events in the network.

PSCAD Experience

Previous experience in PSCAD is not required, but class participants should have a working knowledge of power system fundamentals.
