Our popular High Voltage Academy goes virtual this year.

It is key to ensure long-term continuous knowledge. A warm welcome to this event that will give you more and deeper insights and the latest findings within the energy business. Covering eleven interesting topics, trained by our leading experts you will gain crucial knowledge about different aspects of the power technology and insights into power products.

Hitachi Energy is in the frontline of technical and business advancement in high-voltage technology including power transformers, high voltage breakers, surge arresters, capacitors, instrument transformers, HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current), substations, FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems), power quality, control and protection and related services.

Our business in Sweden has been a leader in high voltage technology for 120 years and is the home to some of the world´s leading power technology experts.

Registration for this years webinars has now been closed. Welcome to join us again in 2022!

Topics

Wednesday 1 December

Title	Description	Time (CET)	Registration
Modern Surge Arrester Monitoring: Stay Home, stay Informed Presenter: James Taylor	Electrical utilities are under ever-increasing pressure to make power grids smarter in the way they are operated and controlled. Travelling to site to read a traditional counter on a surge arrester that may or may not give meaningful data is neither smart, efficient or environmentally friendly. Modern surge arrester monitors now permit remote online monitoring of AIS surge arresters, to give a relevant health check to both the arrester and the system they are protecting. Hear how arrester monitoring can help focus your valuable resources when and where they are truly needed.	12:00-1:00 p.m.	Closed
Future is Here - Live Tank Circuit Breaker LTA - EconiQ Presenter: Stefan Bergström	Next step in develop.m.ent is here. Innovative and eco-efficient Air insulated EconiQ Live Tank Breaker has entered the market. Join us and listen how this new technology, a game-changing alternative insulation gas for high-voltage equip.m.ent is contributing by giving a footprint as an eco-efficient solution and give an alternative to existing SF₆ solutions for high voltage breaker applications.	1:15-2:15 p.m.	Closed
Trends in Power Quality Presenter: Håkan Rörvall	With the transition of the grid, e.g. by integration of renewable energy sources, power quality has become an increasingly discussed topic. In terms of reactive power and harmonics, we will focus on the sources and the trends we see today. We will also have a look at the type products and their properties that are requested in many of today’s projects for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering.	2:30-3:30 p.m.	Closed
Optimising Instrument Transformer Specifications Presenter: Anders Ahlström	Hints for improving accuracy of instrument transformers - correct metering and function saves money.	3:45-4:45 p.m.	Closed

Thursday 2 December

Title	Description	Time (CET)	Registration
Transformers and Reactors 101 Presenters: Oscar Forsberg	Power transformers and reactors are crucial and expensive assets in the power systems and the design of transformers and reactors has an important influence. Join us and listen to our experts talking about the fundamentals of transformers and reactors, what is important during the design process and give you an insight to the production.	12:00-1:00 p.m.	Closed
How Tap-Changers Support the Shift to Renewable Energy Presenters: Lars Liden and Jim Andersson	A tap-changer is a small part of a transformer but considered to be one of the most important part. We will describe how we adopt and develop our products to meet and address the challenges in the shift to renewable energy	1:15-2:15 p.m.	Closed
How Different Bushing Technologies Contribute to Sustainable, Safe and Renewable Energy Presenters: Roger Hedlund and Marina Gullo	Environmental and safety aspects in the future grid. We will describe challenges, product applications and give an introduction to bushing condition assessment and learn how it could contribute to a sustainable and safer grid.	2:30-3:30 p.m.	Closed

Friday 3 December

Title	Description	Time (CET)	Registration
HVDC Transmission Highway from Hydro, Wind and Solar Presenter: Mie-Lotte Bohl	Our transmission network is undergoing a large transition. Old thermal power plants and nuclear plants are faced out and large scale renewable generation is built – situated in totally different locations from the old plants. HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology has been recognized as a key technology for enabling the clean energy transition, contributing to the UN’s Sustainable Develop.m.ent Goal 7. Learn how HVDC is used to solve the large power high ways needed, enabling the integration and exchange of renewable wind, solar and hydro.	12:00-1 p.m.	Closed
Risk and Reliability in Substations Presenter: Bo Malmros	Which apparatuses in the power plant are most critical for the production, i.e. causing most severe consequences in case of a failure/breakdown? Fairly often, plant owners concentrate maintenance to power transformers and circuit breakers, but is this a correct approach? Learn how the risk of unplanned power interruptions can be reduced by implementing a system reliability based strategy, in which all apparatuses are analyzed as part of a system and ranked according to their impact on the overall reliability of the plant.	1:15-2:15 p.m.	Closed
Introduction to Dynamic Shunt Compensation: SVC and STATCOM Presenter: Richard Rivas	FACTS devices have played an ever increasing role as part of the suite of technology solutions chosen to address the changing power system and power quality needs. Static Compensators (STATCOMs), Static Var Compensators (SVCs) and other dynamic reactive power compensation systems have seen increasing adoption rates globally, while synchronous condenser systems have experienced a sort of ‘renaissance’ due to an increasing need for inertia and short circuit reinforcement. In this talk, we will give an introduction to the topic of dynamic shunt compensation with SVC and STATCOM technologies. We will see how both technologies work and what their main components are.	2:30-3:30 p.m.	Closed
Protecting Renewables - Challenges and Solutions Presenter: Patrick Cost	Renewables are the holy grail of a sustainable, clean economic growth. But employing renewable energy sources is a challenging task, that requires new, specific control and protection functions in order to ensure the power sytem stability and efficient operation. We will offer a glimpse in this exciting domain of relay protection and control.	3:45-4:45 p.m.	Closed
