POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION FOR ENGINEERS
This course addresses the basic elements of
designing power system protection for distribution lines, transmission lines,
transformers, and buses. Course participants will:
- Power system basics, including per-unit
and three-phase power concepts
- Symmetrical component concepts and fault
analysis
- Relaying fundamentals
- Instrument transformers
- Basic digital relay concepts
What You Will Learn
At the conclusion of this course, students will
be able to:
- Analyze power systems for balanced and
unbalanced conditions using symmetrical components; understand the
limitations of applying this technique on real-world power systems
- Select the appropriate protective systems
for various applications, based upon reliability, performance, complexity,
and cost considerations
- Apply the selection and coordination rules
of conventional distribution circuit overcurrent protection devices
- Apply distribution and transmission line
protection principles, including basic distance relay protection schemes
- Select appropriate pilot protection
schemes, based upon system requirements and available communication channels
- Apply differential, overcurrent, and
mechanical protection elements to provide complete protection of power
transformers
- Use metering and event reporting functions
from modern protective relay systems to improve power system reliability and
performance
- Application of overcurrent, directional,
distance, and differential relays to transmission lines, distribution lines,
buses, and transformers
- Distribution system protective devices and
their coordination
- Distance and pilot protection schemes used
for transmission line protection
- Power system dynamics and protection
Who Should Attend
Engineers who need a comprehensive
understanding of the design concepts and methods used in protecting electrical
power systems.
Prerequisites
A degree in electrical engineering or
equivalent experience is required. In addition, participants should have:
- A basic knowledge of power systems
- A working knowledge of basic ac
three-phase electrical power systems, trigonometry, basic calculus, complex
numbers, and phasor concepts
