Power system protection schemes are designed to ensure safe and reliable operation of the power system. Their main tasks include, reducing the fault duration, reducing damage to system equipments and life and minimize power interruptions to customers. The scope of this course includes understanding the basic philosophy and elements of protection system, studying the principles for protecting different elements and studying different technologies used in designing protective relays.
Basic knowledge in power systems engineering and electric circuits is required.
