Mastercollegeserie: Power system grounding and protection

This subject provides knowledge about types of grounding systems in high voltage networks. The analysis of the effect of grounding resistance for different grounding systems is studied. The type of relays used for the protection of electric power systems are studied. Attention is given to overcurrent, differential, distance protection and Bucholtz protection of transformers and to the coordination of relays as well as current transformer selections.

The goals of the course are:

• to obtain knowledge about typical grounding practices and how grounding system influences applied protection principles;
• to obtain knowledge on how overcurrent, differential and distance protection is realized;
• basic knowledge on some protective schemes;
• knowledge about testing of protective relays by RTDS and Omicron.

Het betreft een master collegeserie van de Technische Universiteit, speciaal opengesteld voor cursisten van PAO Techniek en Management. Je volgt de colleges samen met reguliere studenten. Deze colleges worden in het Engels gegeven.
