Electrical Control & Protection Systems part 2
This course introduces electrical control & protection systems which are a critical part of any electrical substation
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.
