This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Electrical Power Systems Coordination. It covers the power system components, architecture, and flow of electricity; the principles of power system operation and the concept of coordination in power systems; the protection devices and their roles in power systems; the different types of faults and their impacts on power systems; the system reliability through effective coordination; the principles and applications of overcurrent protection in power systems; and the coordination of protective devices, time-current curves (TCC), short circuit analysis for coordination and relay settings and coordination.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the differential protection in transformers, generators and motors; the role of distance protection in transmission lines and its coordination; the pilot protection schemes, voltage and frequency protection and coordination in distributed generation systems; the types of stability in power systems and the impact of renewable energy sources on coordination; the coordination issues and solutions in smart grid environments; the techniques for achieving protection and coordination over large geographical areas; the coordinating protection in microgrid systems and steps in
planning power system protection and coordination; implementing and updating coordination plans and testing and commissioning protective schemes to ensure proper coordination; and the regulatory framework and standards affecting power system coordination.
