We cover D20 (both ME & MX), D25, D400, DAP-416, UR and Hard Fiber system. This
program includes communicating with IED and protection devices using various
protocols and IEC 61850. It does not cover protection elements, this area is covered in
our protection courses

Our objective is not to simply look at specific products, but look more towards the customize your learning
integrated systems as a whole. So while the program starts off with building product
knowledge, our objective is to build an interconnected knowledge foundation that gives
meaning to our full integrated systems capability.

Learning & Development Learning Made Easy

We are evolving out training courses. The future is built around learning events with material and delivery methods built to suit a wide range of students whether
they be maintenance personnel, engineers or consultants. No matter what your background or depth of understanding or need we can deliver training that works
for you.

You can take individual learning modules or you can combine them, it’s you choice. Or you can take one of our programs such as Digital Substation Essentials,
which combines learning modules, virtual classroom sessions and practical workshops.

Why are we evolving, training delivery Improving the Learning Experience

Training is only a vehicle to assist learning Self-Paced

Training is a transactional activity it does not create expertise
alone, attendance at a class simply stimulates the desire to
learn and build your expertise.
Expertise comes through the desire to learn along with the
quality of the learning experience created through learning
resources and delivery methods, the key being practical
application of taught principles and concepts.
What are we doing to improve
Continuously improve the quality of our training content and
training delivery methods.
Seek to build skills through active learning, reinforced with
assessment tests as we go.
Evolve in how we execute training, using flexible blended
learning offerings as integrated training programs.
Use all available technology to improve the learning
experience.
Leverage social media wherever possible.

Virtual
eLearning integration of GE products to create customer solution.
Classroom
Both the Essentials and Advanced course follow this model with the
advanced course building on the essentials course activities to increase
knowledge further.

At the end of each course the student would have built a integrated system
that will be tested using our PowerLink Connect HMI to prove operation.

Both courses start with an initial virtual class session to get started, this is
then followed with e-learning coursework and testing, leading to a second
Test Collaboration virtual classroom session and then a hands on face to face workshop, we
conclude with a final test and a final virtual class to close out the course.

The aim of the final virtual session is to allow students time to reflect on the
course and ask any question they might have about the course and its
content.

Throughout the course students are encouraged to collaborated with the

instructor and their peers through the collaboration tool.

It all about learning, it is much more than a training course!

Learning Objective Notes

On completion of the Practical Workshop students should be able to identify, assembly, integrate and
operate small scale digital substation solutions from where they can then hone their skills though
further application.
As well as the exercise each module comes with a assessment test and final exam on last day.
Day 1&2 focus on non IEC 61850 schemes, Day 3&4 on IEC61850 schemes
and on day 5 the students design, build, integrate and test a system based
upon a number of one line diagrams provided that cover a number of
different schemas to choice from.
