Training Course Overview

As the demand for electrical energy continues to grow rapidly, ensuring a reliable, safe, and secure power system is more important than ever. Electrical protection devices, along with their associated instrumentation components, must be designed with precision and zero tolerance for error. Numerical relays play a crucial role in digital electrical systems, complementing traditional fuses and circuit breakers. Protection mechanisms are implemented on a component or equipment basis, with each major power system component having dedicated relays to detect various types of faults. When a relay activates, it triggers protective devices that isolate the faulty system component.

Modern power system protection now integrates the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) within the smart grid, featuring the long-awaited touchscreen Human-Machine Interface (HMI). Advanced protection system measurements are incorporated into electrical installations to ensure their integrity and reliability. Key elements of electrical power system protection include differential protection and distance relays.

This training course will feature:

  • Overview of the electrical power system and major equipment
  • Understanding numerical relays functionalities
  • Generator and power transformer protection system
  • Lines and motor protection systems
  • State of the art and IoT protection systems
