OVERVIEW
The addition of new power system facilities, e.g., power plants, lines,
new loads, etc. complicate the power network. Faults occur frequently
in all parts of the system.
As producers and users of Electrical Energy, you must increase your
awareness of present and future power system protection. System
integrity depends on a well conceived and properly implemented
protection philosophy. It is important to learn how to design a system
where equipment or line removal and system restoration occur
quickly and reliably. To do this, it is essential to understand how
present mechanical and microprocessor-based relaying systems
function, how they communicate, how their performance can be
analyzed and what are the future challenges.
Protection system’s main function is to clear faults from the power
system in high speed to: enhance people’s safety and minimize
equipment damage and maintain power system stability. Protection
of power systems requires an understanding of system faults and
their detection, and the safe isolation of the faulted device from the
system.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
The course is designed for the power systems’ engineers responsible
for the operation, control and protection of distribution, transmission
and generation systems. It is also targeting consulting and manufacturing
engineers, engineers in industrial plants, etc.
