HVDC Technology (Part 2)

The HVDC Technology (Part 2) 3 hour PDH online course is a part of the Electrical category courses.

This course is the second part of the HVDC Technology course series. The main objective of the second part is to thoroughly present effects of harmonics in AC power systems, harmonic filter design, DC harmonic concepts and calculations, HVDC power and frequency control schemes. Since this course is continuation of the first course from this series, it is highly recommended that this course is taken upon successful completion of HVDC Technology Part 1.

This course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand basic HVDC technology design and operation principles. Presented details cover issues related to HVDC configurations, HVDC substation design arrangements and equipment, converter operation and control, effects of harmonics in power system, filter design and HVDC power and frequency control schemes.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the course you will gain the following knowledge and skills:

• Effects of harmonics in AC power systems
• DC harmonics
• Harmonic filter design and configurations
• HVDC schemes power and frequency control
• DC protection
• HVDC converter transformers and their configurations
• Reliability and availability of an HVDC converter
