Power System Protection: Part Two
A three-day course covering the fundamentals of power system protection, current best practice, protection system management and new developments in protection technology.
This course offers you a comprehensive guide to the principles of power system protection, an overview of the variety of equipment currently in use and under development, plus an understanding of standard operational practices across the industry.
The course includes the role of protection, fault characteristics and design principles for a range of networks and network assets including a detailed examination of transformers and embedded generators. The management of protection is also examined including the use of new knowledge based systems to create more cost-effective maintenance procedures. This course includes complex numbers and introduces inductance and capacitance.
