The Control & Management of Offshore & Marine High Voltage Power Systems

Introduction

This course is designed for candidates involved in the management and operation of marine/offshore high voltage power systems requiring an understanding of the principles of power generation and high voltage distribution systems and how to safely control and manage abnormal situations such as power failures and emergencies. The course also introduces the safe operation of high voltage systems but it does not authorise participants to carry out high voltage switching operations.
