Many NEW IEC 618850 Training courses in 2015 – especially for protection engineers

More than 10 years after the first substation have been equipped with IEC 61850 conformant devices, we see now the need for more education. Several new trainers have entered the market.

BUT: What about training for the most crucial engineers in the power delivery system: Advanced education of the many protection engineers? They need much more than to understand protocols (MMS, GOOSE, SV) and the configuration language! They need to understand how IEC 61850 impacts the whole protection system: When and HOW to use GOOSE for breaker failure protection? How implement interlocking schemas? And how to test systems based on IEC 61850?!? How to … What you should not do! We could answer all your questions.

These and many other questions MUST be answered by real protection engineers. One of the few well (with IEC 61850 experienced) protection engineers is Andrea Bonetti (FMTP). Andrea spent part of his time in Substations!! Watch his introduction in a 5 min video.

After the first joined course for protection and SCADA engineers in Prague last week, NettedAutomation and FMTP offer several new courses especially for protection and SCADA engineers during the next months:

26-29 January 2015
Guayaquil (Ecuador)

16-18 February 2015
Brussels (Belgium)

09-11 March 2015
Berlin (Germany)

27-29 April 2015

Prague, December 2014: IEC 61850 Special Training for Protection Engineers

IEC 61850 training courses are under way for some 10 years. The first training course NettedAutomation conducted with 40+ attendees in May 2004 and most other courses focused primarily on the general approach of the “IEC 61850 Framework”. We have trained many groups with general purpose issues like basiccs, history, stacks, applications, and devices. Several training courses were focusing on protection – when NettedAutomation cooperated with protection domain experts.

Today you will find training courses teaching the basics of IEC 61850 all over. The NettedAutomation hands-on training course scheduled for next week (15-17 Oct 2014) in Frankfurt is sold out. We are trying to order a bigger room for more attendees.

BUT: In addition to the general training, there is a need for comprehensive special education for power system PROTECTION !! All major vendors of protection relays offer IEC 61850 connectivity for protection and control. There are many groups of protection engineers that have to be more serious about the use of IEC 61850 devices for protection in a multi-vendor environment.

That is why FMTP and NettedAutomation are offering a 3-days training especially for PROTECTION engineers – conducted by a very experienced senior protection engineer (Andrea Bonetti – who worked for ABB, Megger, STRI).

The first public IEC 61850 protection training conducted by FMTP and NettedAutomation is scheduled as follows:

Prague, Czech Republic, December 8th – 10th
Seminar at HOLIDAY INN Prague Congress Centre

I look forward to meeting you in Prague.
