Power Distribution Stations and Feeder Protection Course

This course offers a comprehensive and detailed exploration of utility distribution stations and feeder protection. It provides a thorough examination of various aspects related to these topics, ensuring a comprehensive understanding for participants. One of the key areas covered in this course is the study of fuses, which play a crucial role in protecting distribution systems from overcurrent conditions. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the different types of fuses and their applications in utility distribution stations.

Another important aspect covered in this course is the exploration of modern IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) relays. These relays have improved the field of feeder protection by offering advanced features such as communication capabilities and adaptive protection algorithms. Participants will learn about the functionalities and benefits of these relays, as well as their integration into utility distribution systems.

In addition to modern IED relays, the course also delves into the traditional time overcurrent relays that have been widely used in feeder protection. Participants will gain insights into the principles of operation of these relays and their applications in utility distribution stations.

Furthermore, the course provides a comprehensive review of power transformer protection. This includes addressing critical issues such as current mismatch caused by differing CT (Current Transformer) ratios, which can lead to inaccurate protection coordination. Participants will learn about the delta-wye transformation and current shifts that occur in power transformers, as well as the challenges associated with CT saturation and remanence.

The course also covers the protection of power transformers against inrush phenomena and harmonic content problems. Participants will gain an understanding of the causes and effects of these issues, as well as the protective measures that can be implemented to mitigate their impact.

By delving into these topics, participants will gain valuable insights into the complexities and challenges associated with utility distribution stations and feeder protection. This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively protect and maintain utility distribution systems.
