Frameworks

Goals

This intermediate level course provides participants with a solid understanding regarding protection of medium voltage grids. In addition to the basic concepts of grid protection, the following topics are also covered in detail: common fault types, neutral grounding, protection of cables and lines and protection of transformers. Simplified techniques for calculating short-circuit currents are also presented. Finally, the course also focuses on the impact of decentralized electrical production on the grid, and on its behavior in case of default.

Program

The following aspects will be addressed during the training:

  • Defect types
  • Simplified calculations of short- circuit current
  • Measuring transformers
  • Basic concepts (selectivity, reliability, …
  • Neutral grounding
  • Protection types and applications
  • Conductor protection
  • Transformer protection
  • Decoupling protection
  • Evolution of protection technologies.
  • Introduction to IEC 61850

Target Audience

Maintenance and Operation technician and engineers.

Practical Info

Please note that the course will only take place if the minimum number of participants is acquired.
