Seminar Overview

This 3-day professional development seminar is intended for those working in protection areas with a basic knowledge of Power System Protection. It will primarily focus on the principles and policies of application of Protection to the various levels of the power system, i.e. where and why to use the various protection equipment and configurations and what are the limits of application of each type of protection. It will also deal with the integration of various individual protection schemes into complete schemes applying to a whole power system or to a whole substation.

Who Should Attend?

Technical personnel who have basic knowledge of power system protection, and are involved in design, installation, operation and maintenance of protection system for power systems, such as :

    • Electrical power system protection engineers, managers and technical officers
    • Power system consultants
    • Power system planners
    • Power system operators
    • Researchers
