Switchgears help in protecting our modern power system network, from generation to distribution end. For proper control, protection and maintenance of a transformer.
As there are various voltage levels from generating to the distribution centers, various types of switchgears are required depending upon the requirements. Electrical switchgear also includes circuit breakers which help in protecting the circuit from over load or from short circuit.
Also to achieve safety of the system, electrical equipment has to be monitored to protect it and provide human safety under abnormal operating conditions.
This course is designed to help students to gain theoretical and applied understanding of power system protection, Protection schemes for various power system configurations, Fault current calculations, Protection of generators, transformers, motors.
This course discusses in addition to above mentioned subjects the main Substation components(transformers, UPSs, and operations common problems like power factor correction, the modern methods (Scada) in controlling and monitoring substation.
