COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Electrical High Voltage System Protection & Studies. It covers the high voltage systems, protection system objectives and functions and types of faults in HV systems; the components of protection systems, basic protection principles and system studies; the evolution and types of protection relays and current transformers (CTs) in protection; the voltage transformers (VTs / PTs) and circuit breakers and protection role; the overcurrent protection, earth fault protection, transformer protection and generator protection; the motor protection, busbar protection, transmission line protection and breaker failure and backup protection; and the distance protection in HV lines, pilot protection schemes and stability in power systems. During this interactive course, participants will learn the short-circuit studies, protection coordination studies and protection against overvoltage; the surges and protection in HVDC and EHV systems, ring main unit (RMU) protection and substation automation systems; the gridtied renewable generation (solar, wind) and microgrid protection strategies; the role of SCADA in HV protection and remote relay setting and control; the fault location, isolation and restoration (FLISR); the integration with distribution management system (DMS); the adaptive protection schemes, IEC 61850 and GOOSE messaging and synchrophasor technology in protection; and the wide area monitoring and protection (WAMPAC).
