The short course in Power System Protection in Smart Grid Environments will provide you with a comprehensive range of concepts on power system protection including an understanding of the principles of the operation of protection system components. Topics covered during the course include fuses, relays, circuit breakers, instrument transformers and their applications for the design of protection systems in transmission lines, reactors, static VAR compensators (SVCs), generators and transformers. The course also provides you with a clear overview of overvoltage and system protection with specific reference to smart grid technologies and applications used with renewable energy and energy efficient resources.
• understand protection of renewable distributed generation (wind, PV systems).
Prospective delegates should preferably hold a Bachelor’s degree, National Senior Certificate, or working experience/strong interest related to the course.
This course is ideal for Engineers, Technologists, and Technicians involved in the design, planning, maintenance, operation and support of power system protection systems.
