Generator and Transformers Protection Relays

Introduction

This 5-days course is designed to explain the importance of a generating/transformer unit in terms of economics and system reliability cannot be overstated. Where this is true for units connected to the nation’s power grid or for units operating industrial facilities. Protective relay designs vary with different manufacturers and are constantly changing, especially as solid-state technology impacts this area. However, protective relaying applications remain the same: relatively independent of designs and their trends. As a result, design aspects are not emphasized in this course. This area is best covered by the individual manufacturer’s information.

This course presents the fundamentals and basic techniques of application of protective relays in electric power systems and documents the protection practices in common use. The objective is to provide a useful reference for practicing engineers and technicians. This course full of applications with examples are included for both utility and industrial–commercial systems generally operating above 480V.

This course’s material will help put various protection practices into a clearer perspective and provide useful information to improve. The effectiveness of engineers working in the highly challenging and rewarding field of protective relaying.

Objectives

    Attendant trainees will be able to…

    • Understand the fundamentals of electrical power protection and applications for generator & Transformer units.
    • The ability to perform simple fault and design calculations.
    • Knowledge of the different fault types.
    • Practical knowledge of protection system components.
    • Knowledge of how to perform simple relay settings.
    • Knowledge of maintenance management of the protection system.
    • Know to define the main power system safety.
    • Understand the ability to transfer the "Data" to be technical "Skill".
    • Understand the "Culture" of Power System Protection.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
