    Introduction

    Power system protection relays operate when there is a disturbance of the voltages, currents, or frequency on the high voltage network, preventing or minimizing their effects on the affected plant. The overarching objective of protection systems is to ensure fast, reliable, and selective clearance of unwanted conditions within the high voltage network. In other words, to ensure safety of personnel, public and equipment, while minimizing disruptions to the power network. The protection systems are therefore a critical part of the high voltage network, and understanding how they operate and how to design them is essential for the safe and reliable operation of an electric power system.

    In many cases the protection system cannot prevent faults from occurring, but it can and must limit their effects. The protection schemes must detect faults, but also apply discrimination in isolating the faulty section, and prevent spurious operations during healthy conditions which may appear as faults. As protection systems play an important part in determining high voltage network expansion limitations, day to day operation and equipment maintenance activities, a solid understanding of relay protection is important for planning, system control and asset management engineers and
    technicians.

      About the Seminar Leader

      Our seminar leader received his MSc from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 1995, and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia in 2020. He has been a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland since 2004.

      Between 1995 and 2000 he was with Energoprojekt, Belgrade, Serbia, working on Transmission and Distribution Substation projects in Nigeria and Botswana. From 2001 to 2002, he worked for UGL, Sydney, on water treatment plant electrical networks, DC railways and Transmission Substation upgrades. Between 2002 and 2006 he was with Power Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia, working in Transmission Protection and Automation. From 2006 to 2008 he was with WorleyParsons, Brisbane, working in the Oil field and on QLD and NSW Distribution Network upgrades. Between 2008 and 2019 he was with Queensland Rail and Aurizon, Brisbane, working on major Traction Power Network upgrade programs within the Queensland passenger and heavy haul railway networks. Between 2019 and 2022, he was with Arcadis in Brisbane as Technical Director, working in the rail, renewables, transmission and distribution, and oil and gas sectors. Since 2023, he has been with Incite Energy, as Technical Director, leading the Australian east coast engineering effort.

      In 2020, he completed his PhD in the field of Traction Power Network analysis. He has conducted significant research and has published numerous papers in the areas of Protection, FACTS and large-scale Battery systems for Traction Power Networks. As a member of IEEE, Igor has reviewed many IEEE conference and journal papers in the Power Systems field. He has delivered numerous training courses in Power Systems Protection.
