Symmetrical Components Technique for Power System Protection and Control Engineers
Course Description
This course is dedicated to power system protection and control engineers. As you should already know, proper protection and control of a power system ensures reliable continuous operation 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. Course Introduction
2. Phasors and Polarity: In this section, 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.
3. Symmetrical Components: In section 2, 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.
By understanding how to use the Symmetrical components technique, you will be able to work on all the fundamentals of power system protection and control and to continue your study of power systems for a career in power engineering and electrical engineering.
