To meet the growing public concern for the enhancement of reliability in supplying electricity and global environmental considerations, there is an increasing requirement for a high-quality power sector infrastructure in the field of generation, transmission and distribution. In line with such global
interests, TEPCO has participated in consulting services of electric facilities overseas, utilizing our expertise and know-how accumulated from our experience in Japan. TEPCO can propose improvement of power supply reliability, assist power sector development and tackle global environmental problems,
etc., in accordance with your requirements.

Introduction
The history of electric power system has been originated in 1900s in Japan. Then, to cope with following demand growth, high voltage and bulk power transmission technology has been developed. In 1973,
500kV bulk power transmission system has been put into operation. To compose such a huge and complication power system, much more rapidity, higher reliability and performance of protective relay system was expected. Thus, electromagnetic relays and static relays were developed and numerical relays
equipped with computer are adopted currently.
The fundamental training course and application training course (five days for each course) are available for the engineer who needs the engineering and experiences accumulated by TEPCO through its history in the field of protection relays. TEPCO believes that the course would be really useful for
the engineers of utilities, especially for the system planner of the relay systems of substations and transmission/distribution lines.
Outline of the Course (fundamental/application)
The major contents of fundamental course are the protection schemes in distribution substations and application course's are the schemes in transmission substations. Both courses are consist of five days. TEPCO can process its substantial experiences into the useful information by the same point
of view with the attendants as "Engineer of Utility". It is so helpful in order to find out the most suitable system for your company.
Main Subjects are as follows:
- Outline of Transmission Network and Substation Facilities in TEPCO
-
Outline of Relay System for Distribution Substations and Distribution Lines (fundamental course)
-
Outline of Relay System for Transmission Substations and Transmission Lines (application course)
- Specification, Structure, Operation and Maintenance
- Technical Tour for Control Centers or Distribution Substations
The lectures are performed not only in classroom, but also in TEPCO's Training Center using real scale simulator. The course includes the technical tour to the substations and other facilities to make attendants understand the philosophy, real situations and subjects in the field.
In addition, attendants will be kindly expected to perform small presentation about their system or future plans. Based on this presentation, attendants and TEPCO experts has a chance to discuss over the subjects and experts will make some suggestions.
