Course Overview
The course consists of the two topics; condition monitoring and transient calculations in electrical installations. These are both highly relevant topics for operation and analysis of high voltage systems.
Course Highlights
Condition monitoring: The topic consists of methods for condition monitoring of cables, transformers, switch gear, surge arresters, overhead lines, and gas-insulated sub-stations. Such methods are important to evaluate the components’ reliability and the need for maintenance and replacement. The topic also gives an overview of relevant ageing and breakdown mechanisms, failure modes and frequencies, measurement principles, condition monitoring and diagnostic techniques, and cost/benefit analysis.
Transient calculations: The topic gives an overview of modeling and calculation methods for transients in electrical circuits. Linear system description with modeling of branches, switches, sources, transmission lines, and nonlinear elements. Several methods including state-space models are utilized aiming at fast and effective solutions. MatLab is used to explore general purpose calculation methodology including robust handling of power electronics. More advanced models of transformers, cables and switch gear for transient simulations are covered.
MAIN GOAL
To gain an in-depth knowledge about operation, maintenance and analysis of high voltage systems. Specifically on condition monitoring methods, failures modes and ageing mechanisms of high voltage components, and calculations of lightning, switching and temporary overvoltages.
