The University of Queensland’s Australasian Transformer Innovation Centre (TIC) is pleased to announce a two-day face-to-face CPD course on Partial Discharge- Fundamentals, Testing and Industry Experience.

This CPD course will feature presentations by Prof. Dr.- Ing. Stefan Tenbohlen from the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. This course will deliver the theoretical background information necessary to develop a good understanding of the phenomena of partial discharge (PD) in high-voltage equipment, as well as current measurement techniques for partial discharge.

Along with this, the course will look at the experience of industry using partial discharge for diagnostic and testing work. Using the high-voltage laboratory at the University of Queensland, there will be demonstrations of some key measurement techniques for partial discharge.

Key outcomes

  • Understand the basic principles of partial discharge development in high-voltage equipment.
  • Develop an appreciation as to the failure mechanism associated with partial discharge.
  • Learn the differences detection and measurement techniques that can be applied to the quantification of partial discharge in high voltage equipment.
  • Understand how the detection and quantification of partial discharge in high voltage equipment is used for diagnostic purposes.
  • Learn how power utilities as well as equipment manufacturers apply partial discharge detection in their business for quality assurance as well as diagnostic purposes.
  • Observe the detection of partial discharge in the laboratory using current commercial techniques. 

Presenters

  • The presenters in this course will include industry experts from:
  • Dr.-Ing. Stefan Tenbohlen from the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology at the University of Stuttgart in Germany.
  • Transmission and distribution companies.
  • Measurement equipment suppliers.
  • Researchers from University of Queensland.

Practical component

The course will have a half-day practical component at the end of Day 1, giving attendees the opportunity to witness firsthand a few 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.Yong engineers just starting out in their career in Power.
