Symmetrical Components for Power System Protection Engineers

Symmetrical Components for Power System Protection Engineers

This course is the foundation for a career in power system protection and control. Power system protection and control ensures the reliable continuous operation of power systems and is therefore an essential area of power engineering. In this course you will learn about symmetrical components, which is a very important mathematical technique used in power system protection and control for the easier analysis of power system faults. The course is divided into the following sections:

1. Phasors and Polarity: in section 2, we will begin by discussing phasors and polarity since these are two key concepts to understand prior to diving deep into the symmetrical components technique for analyzing faults. We will also be discussing the concepts of phase rotation in power systems and directionality as it relates to protective relaying.

2. Symmetrical Components: in section 3, we will discuss symmetrical components in great detail. Since faults are often unbalanced, the concept of symmetrical components, which simplifies the analysis of unbalanced faults, is key for power system protection and control. We will thoroughly discuss symmetrical components and its use in power system protection and control and will end the section with several examples to aid our understanding.

By learning all the fundamentals about power system protection and control, you will be able to continue your study of power systems for a career in power engineering and electrical engineering.
