Power System Protection (Protection)

EEEN71075 Power System Protection (Protection) 15 Full year Postgraduate Taught Level 7 Peter Crossley Unit coordinator Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Masters/Integrated Masters P4 ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 7.5 <div>  This unit aims to introduce the classical and advanced operating principles and main features of various types of relays and protection schemes. It provides the knowledge necessary to understand how these relays and schemes are applied to the protection of plant and systems including transmission, distribution and industrial networks and rotating machines. It describes the methods and instrumentation used for testing of protective devices and complex protective solutions involving a larger number of protective devices. Finally, the unit introduces the principles of wide area monitoring, protection and control, which are underpinned by the availability of high speed information and communication technology in protection schemes.  </div>   <div> 1. Introduction to protection systems: The importance of protection to the reliability of industrial and commercial power networks, protection relay types, current / voltage transformers.2. Conventional protection systems: Fuses, overcurrent protection, high / low impedance differential protection, busbar protection, transformer protection, distance protection schemes, protection of rotating machines, including motor and generator protection3. Advanced protection systems:  The advantages and disadvantages of multi-functional numerical protection and control devices. Principles of protection of networks with distributed generators. Wide area monitoring, protection and control systems, aimed for the protection and control of integrated power systems. Communication technology used in protection of power systems and in substations  </div>   <div> This unit aims to introduce the classical and advanced operating principles and main features of various types of relays and protection schemes.

ILO2:  Describe the operating principles of a range of protection schemes including overcurrent, distance, busbar, transformer and motor protection ILO3:  Evaluate the design of  protection systems for use on a transmission, distribution or industrial network through the use of hand calculations, using standard software packages such as Excel or through specialist software including PSCAD ILO4:  Describe how modern information and communication systems are transforming the way protection is applied to the power system and responding to the challenges of increased levels of embedded generation / HVDC.  <div> This unit is delivered entirely via part-time distance learning, including assessment. The unit runs for 10 weeks, with a total of 150h of student work. There are some fixed events, such as coursework deadlines, exams, and weekly tutorials but much of the course can be done at a pace that fits the student.Each section consists of: - An overview of the material, presenting the current learning objectives. - Explanatory material (~3h of student activity/section) in the form of video lectures, papers/articles, the course text, and links to further resources. - Exercises (~4h/ section). These are formative, with feedback given in the tutorial. - Discussion (~2h/ section). Students are encouraged to discuss the exercises and material in the forums where tutors will facilitate peer learning, providing feedback/input if necessary. - Formative Questionnaire. This is to gather students’ questions and highlight misconceptions ready for the tutorial. - Tutorial (~1h/week). Student will video conference with their tutor in groups of 6-8 to discuss and give/receive feedback.In addition to the planned activities there is also private study (~50h for the unit) consisting of: - Revision - Coursework - Further practice - Independent/further study   </div>   1 Written exam 80% 3 Report 20% <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="536"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 291px"> Assessment task</td> <td style="width: 151px"> How and when feedback is provided</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 291px">   -Examination- Coursework </td> <td style="width: 151px"> Marked transcriptRubric and comments</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>   Elec Power Systems Eng (DL) Elec Power Systems Eng (DL) PGDT Dissertation Mandatory N  The core texts for the unit are:  <ul> <li> Blackburn, J.
