Description
The application of protection concepts and the definition and analysis of protection settings is an important aspect of the safe operation of electrical power supply networks.
Using practical examples, the participants will familiarise themselves with the fundamentals of overcurrent, distance and differential protection handling in PowerFactory.
PowerFactory’s extensive protection toolset will be applied to a variety of applications including directional overcurrent protection coordination, impact analysis of parallel lines on distance protection and the automatic determination of distance protection zone reach settings.
The last part of the training is dedicated to the automated auditing of protection settings and the modelling of relay intercommunication schemes.
Please note: Previous experience in PowerFactory basics, or attendance at the equivalent introductory course: “Load Flow and Short Circuit Calculation”, is essential as this is an advanced course.
Hint regarding the PowerFactory version: This training was created for PowerFactory 2023. Older versions may have a different structure in the menus (example: new context menu in PowerFactory 2023) or do not yet have some of the functions presented. The PowerFactory exercise projects provided in the course were created with PowerFactory 2023 and cannot be imported with older versions.
