COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is intended to provide the basic theory, principles and practice of power system protection and stability.
Techniques to analyze a power system under various fault conditions will be covered. Different relaying schemes will be
discussed for overcurrent, differential and distance protections. The applications of these relays will be explored in the
protection of distribution lines, transformers, bus bars, rotating electrical machines, power capacitors and transmission
lines. Different issues related to the stability of power systems, following a fault, will be discussed. Automatic generation
control in the context of load-frequency control will be introduced, if time permits.
