It‘s your choice
We support your efforts by providing a training pro-

gram specifically tailored to your needs, and which
can be conducted either in one of our modern train-
ing centers, on your premises, or online in the form
of e-Learning, where this is appropriate.
Courses can be held in one

of our training centers,
on your premises or in our
virtual classroom.
Classes in our training center or at your company

We’ve established special training centers for our class-
((new picture))
es in several locations. With modern classrooms and
access to actual products, these centers provide the
ideal conditions for transmitting theoretical knowledge
and practical experience.
On-site training
Naturally, we’re also happy to bring the training to you
and conduct our classes on your premises where this is
appropriate. These in-house trainings are especially rec-
ommended when a number of employees need to learn
about a new technology or when there’s a general in-
terest in a particular subject within your company.
The electronic alternative: e-Learning

If you want to learn about technical innovations or
product changes but don’t have time for traditional
training, our “virtual classroom” offers a feasible alter-
native. e-Learning lets you extend your expertise in
specialized subject areas. Our on-line training is
designed to serve small groups and is individually
adapted to your own preferences and requirements.
7
You’re always sitting front-row and center.
Our training is always in

small groups, interactive
and hands-on.
A wide range of subjects
In addition to technical and product-specific
topics, we also offer courses generally related
to the energy market or energy management.
Course modules
Our training programs are designed as modu-
lar packages to cover all possible require-
ments, and each program can be flexibly
adapted to your particular needs. If you have
very specific preferences, we’d be glad to put
together an individualized training program.
The right mix of theory and practice

All our courses combine theory and practice,
meaning that detailed theoretical explanations
are always accompanied by practical exercises
involving actual devices and systems. To make
this possible, we’ve equipped our training cent-
ers with original, operational components, de-
vices and systems from our product range. Our
commitment to hands-on training guarantees
all participants an optimal learning experience.
8
Leave the organizing to us.
We´ll get you set up – and

offer you an interesting
extended program.
Small groups, big successes
In order to maximize learning, we deliberately
limit the number of participants. Keeping this
number to a manageable level is essential for
the efficient transmission of knowledge and
focused, individualized instruction.

PSS™NEVA – Eigenvalue and Modal
Analysis course
Interarea oscillation is a typical phenomenon in large power
systems. System damping can be improved by modulation of
power thus injecting or consuming extra energy in the system
in an appropriate phase. This can be done by modulating power
at the power plant – by means of PSS or by affecting the power
flow in the system. HVDC and FACTS with their ability to change
the power flow directly or indirectly within ms offer the pos-
sibility to improve the system dynamic and stability and thus to
make better use of the installed capacity. The “NEVA – Eigen-
value and Modal Analysis” module for all products of the PSS™
family (PSS™NETOMAC, PSS™PSS™SINCAL, PSS™E) extends the
analysis methods for these oscillations (can help increase sys-
tem stability, allows a deeper view into weak points, determines
the best damping locations, offers different damping strategies,
etc.). Each training day starts with lectures and continues with
practical exercises.

IEC 61850 – the standard for
substation automation
This standard defines the structure of cooperation and com-
munication between substation automation SAS units (e.g. bay
control units, protective devices, switches, transformers etc.)
In addition to defining data transmission between SAS units,
this standard also defines a multivendor object model for de-
scribing process data.
So, IEC 61850 is more than purely a transmission protocol defi-
nition.
Main features:
This seminar provides an introduction to the new comprehen-
sive standard. The technical background, objectives, methods
of resolution as well as the applied methods of object oriented
process data modelling are presented and explained.

(also regarding third parties on whose business premises the training
is held), lawful, magisterial or juridical decisions and regulations as
well as similar cases which are beyond of the control of the contrac-
tual partners. The contractual partner will be immediately notified if
such events occur. This also applies to the ending of such an obstruc-
tion. If such an event occurs, both contractual parties have the right to
cancel the training contract without any legal consequences if
implementation of the training becomes impossible or substantially
more difficult due to the event. In addition, the regulations in Section
3 concerning alternative dates apply in this respect.
11. Reservation of right of modification

ing courses and/or to postpone and, for justifiable reasons (such as

assign a different speaker/instructor. Payment claims lapse if a course
is cancelled. If the location or time of the course is changed, the regis-
tered participant is entitled to cancel his or her registration in writing
within 3 working days of receipt of such notice of change. All other
claims for substitution, damages or losses are excluded.

that the required export licenses are issued;
performance may be barred by export regulations applicable in
Germany or other countries.
Goods labeled with “AL not equal to N” are subject to European or
German export authorization when being exported out of the EU.
Goods labeled with “ECCN not equal to N” are subject to US reexport
