Training Course about Protection and DCS

[alivip]

I am Ms Electrical engineering and work on protection and automation of HV substation in consultant co, for about 3 years.
i am looking for comprehensive and high quality training course about Protection,control and DCS system of substation (max duration : one month).
Whereas, the most EQs in my country are from ABB, Siemens,Areva and GE i prefer to choose my choice form these company.
i also find and documents from GEC company that show its training course is very complete.
does anybody have any experience or know good training course?
is there any good suggestion for me?

Regards,
Alivip

ABB run some very good courses at the ABB University in Baden. It would depend on whether your relays are Swiss or Swedish - there are two competing business units, one formerly being ASEA and one formerly being Brown-Boveri. I am not sure how much interaction exists between the two business units these days.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!

i think it is not so important which brand of relay are used.
i do not to learn about relay configuration setting.
i want to learn about detail theory of protection and dcs system or how we desing protection and control system for hv substation ,,which protection is needed and why,,,and ....

for example why we use REF protection for HV and LV sides of power transformer separately .
or is fault of one phase to ground detected if lv side of transformer is delta (not grounded) and CT is being between zigzag trans and delta winding.
or ,,,
or if you read the manual of relays of different relays you find they use different method to detect fault. i want to know which method is better and why,.,
and so on ...

Hi.
Its not so simple.
You need ask your local ABB, Siemens, Areva, GE about courses.
Please see attached program for 2010 in the Baden, its usually good staf, as Scotty said

You can choice few courses, basic level.

PS.
Scotty, today is different, ABB Swiss and Sweden work now with one platform, Relion series.

Good Luck.
