Course Description:
This course aims at exploring the fundamental principles of power system protection and control. Therefore, the operating principles and design considerations of protective devices and protection systems are elaborated; protection mechanisms of transmission lines, generators, motors and transformers are explored; different types of protection schemes are discussed; coordination of protective systems for sequential operation will be dealt with; and power system controls including automatic generation and voltage control, active power and frequency control, economic dispatching, and unit commitment will be addressed.
Course Objectives: At the end of this course, students should be able to
· Understand the principle of operation of transducers, relays and circuit breakers
· Design and determine the appropriate relays and breakers
· Understand the different protection mechanisms of generators, motors, transmission lines and transformers and choose the appropriate type for a protection requirement
· Know how to coordinate several protection systems for a sequential operation
· Understand automatic generation and voltage control, active power and frequency control, economic dispatching, and unit commitment.
