The aim of the course is to help learners familiarise themselves with power system protection and switchgear. The learners will understand power system apparatus protection, static/numerical relays-its selection and application, functioning of different high voltage/low voltage switchgears and selection of the same for industry applications.
Power system protection and switchgear play 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 optimising 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 ever more challenging. The course 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 theoretical advances, experimental validations and practical engineering.
Upon completion of the course, the learner will be able to identify the causes of abnormal operating conditions of the power apparatus in the power system, select suitable protection schemes for different power apparatus, and diagnose the reasons for the various abnormalities in switchgear operation
