About the course

How we use electricity is constantly evolving; significant changes continue to occur in the UK electricity industry.

Yet more strategic and necessary developments are taking place right now with more to come in the future to reach net zero.

High voltage power (DC) plays a significant role in our transmission system, enabling long distances to be covered with maximum power transmission and minimum loss. Furthermore, HV acts in a mitigating role in the grid with AC flow, transferring full-rated power without a phase angle limit.

HVET, the High Voltage Engineering and Testing returns for its 27th edition, taking place once again in Manchester, delivering a three-day programme on the fundamentals of HV testing and transmission engineering.

The HVET programme provides interactive sessions and real case studies to analyse the application of current techniques and innovative technologies to better understand and therefore be best prepared to manage new and ongoing challenges faced by the power industry.

The course takes place between the 24 - 26 September 2024 at the University of Manchester.
