Overview:
A comprehensive course covering the principles of power system protection. The course provides a very detailed introduction to essential protection principles at a level that does not require knowledge of complex numbers. It is essential to take the necessary action to prevent the ts, and if they do occur, to minimise possible damage or potential disruption. A protection system continuously monitors the power system to ensure the maximum electrical supply with minimal damage to life, equipment, and property. Many utilities require a practical course that examines the characteristics of relays during faults and weak protection points in electrical systems. These studies will be elaborated through practical case studies.
Course Objectives:
Understand why protection is critical on electrical networks
Review the Grounding System of generation, Transmission, and Distribution Networks and how it affects electrical quantities, short-circuit levels, and protection systems.
Understand the main concepts of protection equipment and its necessity in the electrical System.
- Know how to perform relay coordination for primary and backup protection relays on the Ike network.
- Understand how to protect the power system under normal operational conditions.
