Security of electricity grids
During this course you will learn how to make electricity grids more reliable by effectively applying protections.
Minimize the consequences of disruptions and outages with power system protection
How do you make electricity grids more reliable? Protections quickly switch off the disrupted part of the electricity grid, so that the consequences for the total energy supply remain small. In this course you will learn how to apply security effectively and efficiently.
Disruptions, such as short circuits, are inevitable. Failure plays an important role in the design and maintenance of security systems in a network. To properly analyze failure you need knowledge of symmetrical components, current transformers, critical trip time, protection principles and algorithms in digital relays.
It is important to know where and how the different security principles can be applied and how to ensure the selectivity of security. The equipment and software with which you check the accuracy and correct operation of the security is also relevant.
Making high-voltage and low-voltage grids more reliable
During this course you will learn:
- How the differential, distance and maximum current protection works: important applications of these protections in the electricity grids
- How symmetrical components are applied and why knowledge of them is important for security specialists
- To ensure the proper functioning of protections during the different phases of their lifespan. You will gain insight into the standards and testing of protection relays.
- Whether IEC 61850 fits into a cyber-secure substation
- Everything about IEC 61850 protocol services (such as control and GOOSE) for automation and security
- Which secondary test equipment and software you need to test a secondary installation. This is done by performing 'dynamic testing'.
Intended for
Engineers with basic knowledge of electrical engineering who are involved in securing high-voltage and low-voltage networks at grid operators, power stations, installation companies, industrial and energy companies.

Frequently asked questions
In-company
Are several employees interested in the same course, do you want to enrich knowledge with the entire team or focus on your own practice? Then an in-company course could be interesting. We are happy to think along with you about the possibilities. PAOTM has extensive experience in organizing in-company courses in many technical fields for a wide range of companies. You can choose to have an existing course organized in-company for multiple employees. However, if you have a specific organizational or departmental issue, we can also design a unique course. For every customized request, we search our network at universities, knowledge institutes and the business community for the right teachers who can provide your team with the desired knowledge. We then put together a course based on your training needs, learning needs and organizational goals.
