Overview
This course aims to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of power system protection and design. It involves an introduction to power-system fault calculations, a review of protection principles and relaying with reference to relevant international standards, and a study of fundamental practices in generator protection, transformer protection, line protection, motor protection, and pilot relaying.
At the end of this course, participants should be able to:
- Gain an up to date knowledge on power system protection schemes and related standards
- Familiarize with techniques to calculate out short-circuit currents
- Apply protection principles to design protection for electric power equipment and systems
- Model power system protection and coordination schemes using industry-standard software ETAP
- Acquire hands-on experience of protection relays and power system hardware simulator
Who Should Attend
- Engineers
- Technical managers and technicians working in the electrical power industry
- Those working at energy utility, manufacturing, and services companies
