Objectives

Programme

Lectures:

  1. Basics of protections, requirements of protection devices and systems, generations, philosophy and startegy of protection, solutions. Overcurrent protection.
  2. Functions of automatics in power systems.
  3. Differential protections and solutions.
  4. Distance protections.
  5. Communications between protection devices.
  6. Functions of complex transformer protection system.
  7. Medium voltage network residual current protection. Compensated networks with Petersen coil. Effect of star-point handling.
  8. Protection against isolation.
  9. Primary and secondary current transformers.
  10. Special measurement technology of electrical values in power systems, and in protection device.
  11. Integration of protection devices into control system of transformer stations.
  12. Digital protections in modern operation controll systems of transformer station.

Tutorials:

  1. Configuration calculation for overcurrent protection relay on radial network
  2. Configuration calculation for distance protection relay
  3. Transformer differential protection
  4. Configuration calculation for medium voltage residual current protection (incl. FANOE)
  5. Fault recorder analysis
The goal of the course is to help students to be familiar with the theory of protection devices and their set-up methodology used to clear faults in power systems, power plants, industrial and communal networks. Understanding state of the art measurement technology and signal processing related to execution of intelligent protection algorithms in power systems. Furthermore, to be familiar with the automation systems.
