Transmission and distribution networks are undergoing significant transformation. Many networks are restructuring and outsourcing operations and maintenance activities resulting in workers seeking to upgrade skills for new jobs. The transmission sector is commissioning major expansion and strengthening of existing lines over the next 10 decade, resulting in forecast skills shortages. Also in scarce supply are Cable Jointers who are in demand as electrical infrastructure is increasingly moved from overhead to underground.

RelyOn is a committed partner to Transmission and Distribution Network Service Providers. We provide learning and consulting services for skills, safety and compliance to Networks Owners, their Contractors and the Generators and HV Customers connecting to these PowerGrids.

Our Subject Matter Experts bring decades of experience in Lines, Substations and Control Rooms. They have deep knowledge, and an ability to communicate and demonstrate safety leadership. They are skilled practitioners who have held key and senior roles across multiple network companies.

We also offer a range of Training & Learning Services to support best practice in transmission and distribution work environments. Our courses train workers in substations, building towers, inspecting poles, laying and jointing cables, stringing lines, switching and diagnosing faults.

RelyOn works with owners, site managers and contractors during construction, operation and maintenance. We assist our clients is achieving a safe and skilled workforce, continuity of supply, commercial efficiency, regulatory compliance and audit readiness.

Our chartered electrical engineers can support plant commissioning, staged compliance, or assist your assets complete detailed fault analysis during the operational phase and enable prompt correction and return to service. Our Subject Matter Experts bring extensive knowledge of the Electricity Supply Industry, energy networks, renewable technologies, and large-scale electrical We are designing Power Systems programs specifically for renewable generators. Topics include:

1. the principles, practices and problems associated with power grid dynamics and how it impacts your operations
2. understanding the effects your system has on the local and wider networks (voltage and var control, system security, meeting your outputs per your bid profile)
3. communications with with Networks and AEMO
4. responding to significant events such as network faults and weather events infrastructure projects.

Data centers have already proved to be one of the most avid energy consumers, this exponential growth in digital data and the need for cloud storage is driving the need for professionals equipped to operate and maintain them efficiently.

Data Centers strive to provide 99+% security and availability of data and computing services to their customers. Our electrical engineers and High Voltage specialists support data centers from design, construction, plant commissioning, operations and maintenance. We provide Electrical Safety Rules, safe operating procedures, and comprehensive advice on managing High Voltage and Low Voltage plant and network connections. We develop and deliver training programs to educate your staff and contractors who work on or near your high and low voltage electrical plant. We have extensive experience in electrical operations in the Electricity Supply Industry, and Customers operating electrically significant assets.

We can establish courseware and training delivery capability to enable consistent and measurable skills and safety outcomes for your Data Centre workforce in accordance with your Electrical Safety Rules.

To support Rail infrastructure expansion and the ongoing maintenance and operations of essential rail networks, we provide Learning and Consulting Services to support electrical safety, skills and compliance for our rail network owners and their Contractors.

Our industry experts have extensive skills and deep knowledge across electrical network and plant operations, maintenance, rail electrical safety management, curriculum and work instruction development for light and heavy rail. We draw on a solid understanding of network electrical protocols and safety consistent with local and global legislations and protocols. We offer a range of Short Courses and Qualifications to support best practice in Light and Heavy Rail construction and operating work environments. Our objective is that workers operating in the rail corridor, on overhead lines, signals, substations or control rooms always have the right skills, authorizations and support to stay safe and do the job well.

Our Power Station team members have decades of experience in operating, maintaining and training across all types of thermal and hydro power generation equipment operating at scale. This includes operation of sub-critical, super-critical coal fired and combined cycle gas turbine power plant, hydro turbine generators and diesel generator plant and air-cooled condensers. This experience enables us to understand your business and be sensitive to the needs of the different stakeholders you have within your organization.

For industrial scale electrical environments, our team advises on industry best practices, risk analysis, safe operating procedures, and provides comprehensive advice for managing High Voltage and Low Voltage plants. We develop customized documentation for compliance with Electricity Regulations, transmission network obligations, contract obligations and maintenance plans.

Our training services are designed to meet your corporate compliance requirements, permit system authorization requirements, role focused technical training, upskilling when equipment and processes change and making sure contractors arriving onsite are bringing the right skills and can show evidence of competency and compliance.

Globally, energy landscapes are experiencing unprecedented change, driven by an evolving power supply mix, ageing infrastructure, changing technologies, weather patterns, and consumer preferences. RelyOn is working with local and international Power Systems Operators and power grid specialists to understand these challenges and develop agile training programs.

Our goal is to provide operators with an effective learning environment to improve and enhance knowledge and confidence that will underpin system efficiency, reliability, security and safety of the electricity network.

Our Courses will provide foundation, intermediate and advanced levels of competency and skill development. Programs are intended to be modular and adapted to meet the various and evolving needs of transmission and distribution networks and energy generators. Training delivery modes include online self-paced modules and instructor facilitated workshops and multi party scenarios.

The rising volume of high voltage underground power cables brings about technical challenges to network and site developers, operators, and maintenance technicians. Our staff deliver a range of training from short courses to full qualifications. The rise in cable system faults is costly for owners, developers and operators of high voltage networks in generation (wind, solar and thermal), sub-transmission, distribution and rail networks or large scale industry and utilities.

In collaboration with global power cable solutions provider NKT, we created the Cable Jointing and Installation Practices one day program. Tailored to engineers and project managers, this course increases the level of awareness of what conditions and workmanship is necessary to ensure quality and longevity of underground cable systems.

Our experienced industry practitioners provide short courses and full Apprenticeship programs for the essential practical and theory components of cable jointing, terminations and maintenance.

In addition to our Certificate III in ESI - Distribution Underground qualification, our short courses include:

1. Install, test and verify distribution underground cable installation
2. Joint, terminate and maintain high voltage and low voltage underground polymeric cable
3. Transition joint high voltage paper insulated cable to high voltage polymeric cable
