Protection of HV & EHV Transmission Systems

  • Differential Protection :
    A Comprehensive Consideration
  • High Impedance Differential Protection
  • Biased Differential Protection
  • Application of Biased Differential Schemes to Busbars
  • Differential Protection of Feeders : Pilot Wire Schemes
  • Differential Protection of Feeders : Current Differential Schemes
  • Distance Protection :
    A Comprehensive Consideration
  • Current Transformers
  • Voltage Transformers
  • Distance Protection Fundamentals
  • Protection Signalling
  • Advanced Aspects of Distance Protection Design
  • Principles of Reach (Setting) Selection

This 3-day seminar focuses on meeting the National Electricity Rules (NER) via the implementation of unit and non-unit protection schemes to HV & EHV transmission systems. Delegates will learn the principles of protection scheme selection, scheme configuration and the principles associated with the determination of relay settings. The difficulties associated with unique system configurations, such as mutually coupled and/or teed feeders, will also be explored.

Protection of HV & EHV Electricity Transmission Systems is necessary to maximise safety for the public and electricity industry employees alike, to disconnect faulted plant from the system and to maintain quality of supply to customers. The modern trend is:

  • To operate HV and EHV electricity transmission systems closer and closer to their limits of performance
  • Augmentation of the power system is often delayed whereby aging plant continues to service customers
  • Value engineered solutions are often implemented, to achieve the most cost effective provision of electricity supply to network participants.

Under these situations, the associated protection systems are required to meet the crucial requirements of being simultaneously coordinated, fast operating, secure and reliable. These requirements tend to be mutually exclusive, yet meeting them is fundamental to the National Electricity Rules (NER), which mandate the performance of protection systems to maintain power system stability and to not restrain power flows within the transmission system network.

This seminar has been prepared specifically to provide this crucial knowledge for:

  • Planning Engineers to identify the protection implications associated with proposed schemes for augmentation of the power system.
  • Maintenance Engineers to ensure that system protection is not compromised as plant is removed from service during maintenance.
  • Circuitry and Automation Design Engineers to implement protection schemes which optimise power system performance.
  • Protection Application Engineers to identify protection implications and to ensure design and setting principles meet the NER and provide the necessary levels of speed, security, reliability and safety.
