COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of HV overhead power line construction, commissioning, testing, maintenance and patrolling. It covers the process of transmission and distribution of energy including generation stations, switchgear, control devices, etc; the traditional and current design practices in transmission line structures as well as the improved design approaches; the various types of insulators and their accessories and function; and the proven methods used for improving insulator performance. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the tools and equipment used in transmission line construction, maintenance and its step-by-step procedure; the typical insulated power cables for high-voltage applications and their testing, troubleshooting and fault location; the transmission line parameters; the characteristics of overhead conductors; the sag and tension of conductor and the procedure of its calculations; the corona and noise in overhead lines and its main effects in the construction, maintenance and patrolling; and the geomagnetic disturbances and impacts on power system operation.
