The Control & Management of Offshore & Marine High Voltage Power Systems
Course code: MAR6
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 course is designed for candidates involved in the management and operation of marine/offshore high voltage power systems requiring an understanding of the principles of power generation and high voltage distribution systems and how to safely control and manage abnormal situations such as power failures and emergencies. The course also introduces the safe operation of high voltage systems but it does not authorise participants to carry out high voltage switching operations (see MAR4 course).
The course also includes a brief awareness of Electric Power Failure and Preparation of an Emergency
Participants
Non-electrical personnel responsible for the safe control and management of high voltage power systems in a marine or offshore environment.
Aim
To give participants an understanding of the functional, operational and safety requirements for marine and offshore high voltage systems and the remedial action necessary during system faults. This course is not intended to authorise participants to carry out switching duties (see MAR4 course).
