TARGET AUDIENCE & REQUIRED SKILLS This course is intended for engineers, researchers, operators and maintenance
personnel, to provide up-to-date technical expertise for HVDC-VSC projects.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES The purpose of this training is to build and strengthen the technical and analytical
capacity of the participants and therefore their respective institutions in the
domain of HVDC VSC Systems.
The large-scale development of renewable energy sources in transmission grids, along with
public demand to avoid construction of new overhead lines, has led to increased
applications of long high-voltage underground cables, the addition of dynamic reactive
power support, and new HVDC links using underground DC cables.
The increasing penetration of power electronics-based devices in the network has a
significant impact on grid performance and reliability. It requires improvements in control
and protection systems and understanding of dynamic behaviour.
Specific skills and tools are required to study these technologies.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY This training session will be interactive, including presentations from experts as well
as case studies.
Training materials will be provided during the sessions.
Each participant will receive a temporary license of the simulation tool EMTP
(www.emtp.com) valid during the training. It will be used to illustrate concepts presented
during training. No prerequisites are required.
A tutorial will also be conducted in the real-time lab with HVDC VSC replicas to
illustrate how Hardware In the Loop (HIL) simulation can support integration of HVDC in
transmission grids.
TRAINING ENVIRONMENT The session lasts five days at RTE’s Training Centre in Lyon, France.
