Applied Protection Techniques & Devices in Power Systems

Protection of low-, medium-, and high-voltage power systems requires an understanding of system faults and their detection, as well as their safe disconnection from the power system. This course presents a comprehensive and systematic description of protection schemes for various power system elements such as feeders, transformers, motors, buses, and generators.
 

Beginning with an overview of power system faults and protection scheme requirements for the detection and coordinated clearance of these faults, the course then covers protection requirements for cogeneration, non-utility generation, and interconnection with utility power systems.
 

This course deals with protection systems from a practical perspective, including important functional aspects such as the testing and coordination of protection systems. Specially designed for industries and utilities, the seminar relates proper system protection to operational efficiency and the minimization of equipment damage.
