Program Description
Power system protection plays a crucial role in establishing reliable electrical power systems. Improperly designed protection systems can lead to major power failures. Due to the increasing dependency on electricity, such power failures can have a serious impact on society and the economy. Application knowledge of power system-protection is key when it comes to optimizing the reliability level of electrical infrastructure. With the advances in protection and communication technology in recent decades plus the strong increase of renewable energy sources, the design and operation of power system protection systems has become even more challenging. This course ‘Basic Concepts of Power System Protection – A Practitioners approach’ provides an up-to-date presentation of the role of protective relays in protecting the power system equipment. It provides a theoretical summary along with examples of real-life engineering applications to a variety of technical problems, thereby bridging the gap between the theoretical advances, experimental validations, and practical engineering.
This course gives the learners insights about:
- Electrical Protection Schemes
- Numerical Relay and Algorithm
- Optical Instrument Transformers
Course Objectives:
- Learners will be able to understand the overview of the protection schemes and evolution of Protective relays.
- This gives a brief about Current Transformer and Voltage Transformer i.e. Instrument Transformers along with its in depth working principle.
- Learners will be able to understand Overcurrent Protection, its working principles and application, and relay setting principles.
- Learners will be able to understand Differential Protection and System grounding protective relaying, its working principles and application, and relay setting principles.
- Learners will be able to understand Motor Protection, its working principles and application, and relay setting principles.
