Principles of the Safe Operation of Marine/Offshore High Voltage Power Systems

Course code: MAR5

This course is accredited by Teesside University and is worth 30 credits. Candidates successfully complete the course and assessment will receive a Teesside University ‘UCPD’ certificate … read more

Introduction

This is an advanced training programme that requires a good foundation of electrical knowledge and experience of high voltage Power systems.

Participants

Electrical engineers, electrical officers and contract electrical engineering staff, responsible for the construction, commissioning and operation of marine/offshore  electrical power systems, and to be responsible for switching and the issue of safety documents.

Aim

This course has been developed to meet requirements of the safe operation of high voltage systems in marine/offshore applications (HV systems not control systems) This course is  more advanced than the MAR4 course and includes a broader technical emphasis with fewer practical  switching operations.

Outline Contents

• Review of Marine/offshore statutory electrical requirements
• Philosophy of high voltage distribution
• Review of Operational and safety features of switchgear
• Operational Procedures
• Review of Marine / offshore high voltage safety rules
• Basic fault calculations
• Marine / offshore application of electrical protection
• Principles of power management systems
• Electrical testing principles & demonstration
• Treatment of system neutral point
• Synchronisation
• Electrical maintenance
• Case studies
• Automatic voltage regulation
• Practical exercises (2-switching/ safety documents)
• Course review

Certification

Candidates who successfully complete the theoretical and practical competence assessments will receive a Faraday “Competence” certificate, candidates who fail or do not wish to undertake the competence assessments will receive a Faraday “Attendance” certificate.
