Electrical Control & Protection Systems part 2

This course introduces electrical control & protection systems which are a critical part of any electrical substation

Ratings: 4.56 / 5.00




Description

The aim of this course is to introduce all of the basic principles associated with these complex systems. 

The course will go into detail for the following key topics :-

  • Show how a substation DC systems operated and how the battery is sized

  • Look at the key elements of a circuit breaker protection scheme

  • Introduce the principles behind circuit breaker failure protection and show what action needs to be taken.

  • See how circuit breakers can be re-closed after a fault and outline the systems involved

  • Introduce the principles behind synchronising, show what parameters need to be checked and how the systems operate.

  • Go into detail on the main features of transformers, including vector groups, tapchangers, cooling systems, controls / alarms & protection systems

  • Introduce the basic principles and systems associated with SCADA systems

By the end of the course the student will be able to identify all of  the key components of a protection & control system shown above and understand  how all of these components fit together to create a fully integrated  system.
