Course Overview

Power system protection structures play a vital role in establishing reliable electrical power systems. Experience in power system protection systems is crucial when it comes to enhancing the reliability of electrical infrastructures. Inadequately designed protection systems may result in major power failures and/or accidents with dire consequences.

Due to the rapidly rising importance of electricity in all our lives, such power failures can have a serious impact on multiple facets of society as well as the overall economy of our respective regions, countries, or even on a global scale.

With the advances in power protection technology in recent years and the sharp increase in renewable energy sources, the design and operation of power protection systems have become even more tricky. This course offers the first principles of power system protection and its application in different scenarios.
