This course explores various aspects of the design and operation of modern power systems. The focus will be on the area of Protection in Power Systems and High Voltage Engineering. In the laboratory classes, you will work with some state-of-the-art equipment used in industry for protection and measurement in power systems.
The course will introduce students to the principle of high voltage test system in AC, DC and impulse voltages, breakdown mechanism in solid and gas insulating medium and non-intrusive test methods to evaluate the performance of electrical insulation system. In addition, we will introduce topics such as protection system using overcurrent relay, distance relay and directional relay.
