• Module 3: Protection, planning and operation | ODB-1003588-003 | 12 uur

  This module introduces key concepts for the safe and continuous operation of transmission grids. You will learn about safety in electrical installations, transmission system protection, and short-circuit calculations.

  Hands-on workshops in the EnergyVille labs will cover distance protection near HVDC systems, and automation and control (IEC61850) for digital substations.

  We will visit the National Control Centre to learn about dispatching, balancing (FCR, FRR...), network security, N-1 contingency planning etc. A network simulator demonstration will show the impact of cabled systems and HVDC on the grid. Additionally, we will visit the training substation of the transmission system operator.

  This module offers practical insights into real-world and safe operation of transmission grids.
