eMobility: challenges and opportunities

The objective of this course is to identify the main elements in offshore grid platforms related to AC and DC systems, including power cables, substations and FACTS.

The EU grid codes requirements and their application

Delve into the technical specificities of Grid codes in Europe and understand their role in helping renewables to integrate. Study generating facilities and their main connections to Hitachi Energy complying the current Grid Code requirements.

Introduction to Power System Dynamics

Participants will acquire an understanding of power systems dynamics starting from basic stability concepts to modeling of power system equipment and running power system dynamics simulations. Considerations associated with modeling synchronous generators, excitation systems, prime-movers, loads, FACTS (SVCs and Statcoms) and Battery Energy Storage Systems will be discussed. This course will also provide the background for attendees to appreciate and understand how to run basic power system stability studies.

Strategic planning of distribution grids - Online classroom

Participants will acquire an understanding of how distribution grids are planned today. The topics that will be covered go from understanding the difference between expansion planning and target network planning to a mapping of future load feed situations (including electromobility).

Introduction to Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)

Understand the background and principles of today's Life Cycle Assessments and eco directives and how these can help your business get greener.

You will also discover the main available energy storage technologies and their applications, especially in microgrids systems, via meaningful customer success stories.

HVDC technologies

This course is intended for engineers and technicians involved in the planning, engineering and operation of power transmission systems. It focuses on understanding High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) technologies and studying the existing applications, market drivers and operational considerations.

Introduction to smart grids. Communication in intelligent networks

Understanding the importance of the development of smart grids in today’s energy system is a key objective of this course. You will also discover a wide range of scopes of application for smart grids and you will understand the most important aspects about security through real examples of on-going projects and initiatives.

Protective relay testing and diagnosis

This course focuses on discovering the types of tests used to assess protective relays in power systems. It also provides a hands-on experience in defining the settings and parameters of relays and allows you to learn the relevant tests and checks in various real units available for training.

High-voltage line protection

Engineers involved in electrical protection or interested in exploring these systems are welcome to join this course that will allow them to understand the methodologies, devices and protection systems most commonly used in transport lines.

Harmonics in power systems: origin, analysis and filtering solutions

The main goal of this course is to understand the importance of power quality parameters in order to achieve an efficient utilisation of electrical stations, and to discover all steps within a holistic harmonics study, from filtering solutions and dimensioning to field implementation.

Design of substations

Discover the key theoretical and practical aspects in the design, operation and control of substations and transformer stations by joining this course on “Design of substations”.

Substations maintenance

Substation supervision and monitoring, SCADA systems, key maintenance activities, failure risk and life cycle analysis are some of the topics covered by this course. You will thus analyse the fundamental aspects of substations maintenance from a global perspective through a hands-on approach that will enhance your learning about new practices and trends in asset management.

Electric switchgear

This course is aimed at engineers and technicians who wish to obtain a complete view of the switchgear used in different voltage levels. Throughout the course, you will identify the main components of electrical switchgear in high, medium and low voltage networks and you will also understand their applications in generation, transmission and distribution grids.

Power transformers

Review the fundamental concepts of power transformers and the protective techniques against external and internal faults and perturbations and learn the basics about the installation, erection and maintenance of power transformers. The course comprises also a visit to one of the world’s most important power transformers factory to give you a hands-on experience.

Power systems studies and relay coordination

The goal of the course is to familiarize the participants with the different types of power system studies that are performed for industrial and utility electrical power systems. The course emphasizes the criticality of the modelling of the different power system elements for the studies and the methods of extracting this data from the field. It also explains how the analysis results are to be interpreted by comparing the outcomes of the studies with reference to the relevant IEEE standards.

 


Tailored courses

The Power Consulting training unit is available to develop specific training programmes adapted to your staff, activities and needs. Based on your requirements and our experience, we can design customised courses within Hitachi Energy facilities or at the customer’s premises (also available online now).

In the last years, companies such as Iberdrola, Red Eléctrica de España, Endesa and ArcelorMittal, among others, have relied on our services to train their personnel through tailored learning plans.
