This course is the foundation for a career in power system protection and control. Power system protection and control ensures the reliable continuous operation of power systems and is, therefore, an essential area of power engineering. In this course, you will learn about symmetrical components, which is a very important mathematical technique used in power system protection and control for the easier analysis of power system faults. The course is divided into the following sections:
1. Phasors and Polarity: We will begin by discussing phasors and polarity since these are two key concepts to understand prior to diving deep into the symmetrical components technique for analyzing faults. We will also be discussing the concepts of phase rotation in power systems and directionality as it relates to protective relaying.
2. Symmetrical Components: We will discuss symmetrical components in great detail. Since faults are often unbalanced, the concept of symmetrical components, which simplifies the analysis of unbalanced faults, is key for power system protection and control. We will thoroughly discuss symmetrical components and their use in power system protection and control and will end the section with several examples to aid our understanding.
