Course about Metrology for future HV transmission: HV measuring techniques 24 May 2023

For future energy transmission, voltage levels are increasing to ultra-high voltage (UHV) levels of 1000 kV or above and transforming to direct current (DC) which is more efficient over long distances. Existing testing techniques and HV measuring systems and devices of HV laboratories currently used for AC, need to be changed or updated to be able to test new DC or AC/DC equipment, to measure present over voltages and to reach ultra-high voltage direct current (UHV-DC) present in future grids.

FFII and its LCOE laboratory organises a course to present these new HV measuring techniques. Some of these new evolutions, specially related to HV test techniques and partial discharges, dealing with the horizontal standards IEC 60060-1, IEC 60060-2 and IEC 60270, the need of new measuring systems, together with a revision of HV basic concepts will be presented.

AIM OF THE COURSE

High voltage and partial discharge test and measurement techniques are widely used in laboratory tests, for material qualification, on site tests for commissioning of HV installations and periodic verification tests of HV electrical insulation for maintenance or regulatory compliance. The purposes of this course are to describe the classical principles of HV and PD tests and measurements, as well as the changes that international standardization bodies propose for the revisions of the corresponding IEC standards.

PROGRAM (9:00 – 13:00)

The training course will be explained in Spanish with slides in English and with simultaneous translation into English. High Voltage Measurement Techniques, IEC 60060-1. Approved and reference measuring systems. IEC 60060-2 modifications. Universal measuring systems. Laboratory PD Measuring systems in accordance with IEC 60270. Wideband and narrowband partial discharge methods. Calibration. Expected uncertainty of PD measurements in the laboratory. Test Techniques, on site PD measurements: HF, VHF and UHF. Characterization and Qualification of PD measuring systems for insulation condition diagnosis, TS 62478. High Voltage testing, measurement and generation techniques in mobile laboratory: resonant generators, VLF, etc. Withstand voltage tests of cables and gas insulated systems, IEC 60060-3. Visit to the High Voltage Laboratory. Presentation of 2.4 MV impulse generators, power frequency 1 MV (50 Hz), HVDC 800 kV (1.4 MV), Universal measuring system. Synthetic PD Calibrator for the Qualification of PD Analysers.

13:00 - 14:00 Lunch - cocktail.

Registration includes lunch and coffee breaks, as well as documentation in electronic format. Confirmation of attendance at least two days before the Course. Limited attendees.
