Higher education teachers: Pantoš Miloš

Subject description

Prerequisits:

• Enrolment into the program.

Content (Syllabus outline):

Protection and control equipment in power systems, power system protection principles, redundancy, features of protective relays, current and voltage transformers, protection of generators, transformers, lines, numerical (digital) protection, wide area protection.

Elements of power system control, databases, SCADA systems, communication, signal processing, automation of power systems, frequency and voltage regulation, control functions (network, production, consumption, reliability of supply, simulator, other control functions), control management (control levels – OSI model, configuration of control systems, control and maintenance), standards and protocols, control equipment.

Objectives and competences:

Students will become familiar with basic principles in the field of power system protection and control, basic physical principles of different phenomena in power systems, development of technologies in the field of protection and automation, protective solutions of different elements, wide area protection systems, the role of measurement transformers (current and voltage), protection redundancy, control functions, databases, signal processing, communication technologies, standards and protocols.

Intended learning outcomes:
