Protection Systems in low and medium Voltage Grids
Protection systems are very important components to ensure the safety, reliability and quality of supply of power systems.
In the event of a malfunction, protection systems can isolate the faulty components while keeping the functioning parts of the power supply system in operation. Efficient protection systems can detect and isolate faults or exceptional situations within milliseconds to seconds. Backup protection devices are installed to improve the reliability of the protection system.
This course focuses on:
- The electrical behaviour of protection devices and photovoltaic generation systems
- Grid calculation methods
- Protection system planning principles
- Protection testing
- Compliance monitoring
