Current and voltage measurements using Rogowski coil in MV air-insulated switchgear
This thesis focuses on measuring currents and voltages by Rogowski coil and voltage dividers and communication bus using IEC 61850-9-2 in MV switchgear. Both technologies as such, have been independently… Read more
The basics of power system protection that every engineer should know about
Protection is the branch of electric power engineering concerned with the principles of design and operation of equipment (called ‘relays’ or ‘protective relays’) that detects abnormal power system conditions, and… Read more
Guidelines for a modern digital substation design
The challenge with hardwiring, is that the connections to the protection schemes are different; the data transferred is slow and cannot be compared. The communication failure reports locally at the… Read more
Advanced protection scheme for power transformers based on IEC 61850 standard
Power transformers of medium and large sizes are very critical and vital components for power systems. Due to its significance and cost, its protection needs to be appropriately addressed. Transformer… Read more
