INSULATION COORDINATION FOR POWER SYSTEMS
Date: 12-13 March 2024, 10am-6pm AEDT
Delivery : Online Seminar (Live Streamed via ZOOM)
Seminar Overview
Temporary overvoltages are common to power networks and systems. However, it is paramount for electrical power engineers to reduce the number of outages and preserve the continuity of electricity service and supply. It is therefore necessary to direct special attention towards protection of transmission lines, substations, power plant and equipment from the major causes of overvoltages in power networks and systems such as lightning and switching overvoltages.
This seminar provides attendees with an overall understanding of issues or damages that overvoltages on the system may cause to plant and equipment, as well as a practical appreciation of the various methodologies employed to reduce such damages.
This seminar will cover important aspects relating to insulation coordination including principles of insulation coordination, methodologies used, identifying insulation strength, causes of overvoltages and mitigation of hazardous overvoltages. Further, this seminar will also focus on numerical analysis, modelling and implementing insulation coordination steps and techniques, which involves application of a set of quantitative procedures. Hence, achieving the best possible technical and economical design for protection of persons and equipment against overvoltages.
