HVDC-VSC Technology & Modeling in EMTP®

HVDC-VSC Technology & Modeling in EMTP®

Objectives

The objective of the training is to present a technical hands-on on HVDC-VSC systems.
It is organized in collaboration with Siemens-Energy and The University of Texas.

The training covers the following topics:

  • Introduction to HVDC-VSC technology

  • Modeling and simulation of HVDC-VSC systems with EMTP®

  • Specifications of HVDC-VSC projects

This course presents practical and technical information on HVDC-VSC systems.
EMTP® will be used to illustrate concepts and performances of HVDC-VSC systems.

 

Training structure 

The duration is 3 days.
The training starts at 8:30 am and ends at 5:00 pm every day.
Lunch breaks (included in the course fee) are from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm.

 

Intended audience 

This course is designed for engineers, researchers, and students with a keen interest in HVDC systems.

 

Computer and temporary EMTP® licenses

Every participant is required to bring their own personal computer. EMTP® licenses will be provided for the course's duration. EMTP® is free for Universities.
