Abstract
This paper presents a set of analysis tools for self learning for radial power system protection training (Bouhenna 2010). It automates a radial feeder for an overcurrent protection that would include fault calculations, fuse-fuse co-ordination, current transformer, relay-relay and fuse-relay co-ordination, directional overcurrent protection, ground fault protection, automatic recloser and sectionalizer. The software explains the function of all these protective elements and provides the students with the skills and knowledge necessary to understand and comprehend radial power system protection. Key words: Set of analysis tools, radial power system protection, fault calculations, co-ordination, protective elements.
Highlights
Many existing materials cover most of the power system protection topics in a very deep manner which may be difficult for a new learner
Three of them are mentioned as follow: A Matlab /GUI Based Fault Simulation Tool for Power System Education (Koç and Aydoğmu, 2009),; Computer Assisted Learning in Power System Relaying (Lai, 2002); Easy Power (ESA, 2009)
It aims to provide the student with enough skills to understand the concept of the main protective devices and their operation in electrical power systems
Summary
Many existing materials cover most of the power system protection topics in a very deep manner which may be difficult for a new learner. Protection coordination is based on devices’ operating characteristics where students are able to select and configure protection devices and display their corresponding time-current characteristics. Different scenarios can be applied with different combinations from simple network to advanced coordination schemes. After completing this course, the student will have accumulated enough skills to be able to do the protection design of a complex radial network. Three of them are mentioned as follow: A Matlab /GUI Based Fault Simulation Tool for Power System Education (Koç and Aydoğmu, 2009), (covers only the fault calculations); Computer Assisted Learning in Power System Relaying (Lai, 2002) (does not cover all the different protection schemes, it is suitable for students who already know the basic schemes); Easy Power (ESA, 2009), (delivers a full lineup of powerful Windowsbased electrical software tools for intelligently designing, analyzing, and monitoring electrical power systems, but it does not explain in details how the fault currents have been calculated or how the coordination time interval between two protective devices has been found)
