| Course synopsis: | This course introduces students to a number of advanced topics in high voltage technology. Emphasis will be on the detailed application of electric field analysis, partial discharge measurements, insulation coordination design, ZnO surge arrester application, and GIS condition monitoring. In addition, the course covers the application of optical techniques in high voltage environments and the application of pulsed power technologies. At the end of the course, students should be able to critically design insulation coordination for a given substation, as well as to apply application software (QuickField) to analyse and solve high voltage problems. |
