Two-Day Face-to-Face Bushings for Power Transformers- Design, Maintenance and Testing CPD Course
This two-day face-to-face course will bring industry professionals together for dialogue and sharing of knowledge to better understand the operation of bushings for power transformers, as well as the design, maintenance and testing thereof.
This bushing course will deliver the theoretical background information necessary along with "hands on" practical experience to understand the bushing issues changes faced by modern power systems and their operators. This course is aimed at procurement, asset strategies, operations and maintenance managers and engineers in generation, transmission and distribution, renewables manufacturing mining industrial and infrastructure organisations.
Key outcomes
- Understand the basic principles of design of HV capacitively graded Bushings.
- Learn the differences in technology for bushing construction and how these differences influence your maintenance and asset strategies.
- Understand the mechanisms of HV bushing failure.
- Learn how to detect bushing failures using offline techniques such as advantages of dissipation factor and capacitance over different frequencies.
- Learn practical methods to improve your bushing testing methodology.
- Understand online bushing monitoring techniques, what they measure, and diagnostic tools in common use.
- Learn what other electrical utilities are doing in bushing life cycle management, testing, replacement practices and issues, determining end of life and justification to mitigate risks and case studies.
Presenters
The presenters in this course will include industry experts from:
- Manufacturers of bushings for power transformers, including Hitachi Energy.
- Transmission and distribution companies including Powerlink Queensland, Energy Queensland and AusNet.
- Researchers from University of Queensland.
Practical component
The course will have a half-day practical component at the end of Day 2, giving attendees the opportunity to witness firsthand some of the concepts discussed during the course.
Who should attend?
- Procurement, Asset Strategists, maintenance managers and engineers.
- Generation, transmission, and distribution personnel.
- Consultants, designers and operations staff in the renewables, manufacturing, mining, industrial and infrastructure groups.
