Renewable Resources and Distribution Protection System with Communication
Renewable Energy & Sustainability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course will help remote equipment monitoring, centralized control, distributed peer to peer control, wide area protection, etc. The recent communication, local processing, and time-synchronized measurements will open many paths to improving power system protection and control.
Learning Objectives
New solutions to the protection, control, and monitoring of power systems are being put to work all the time, by scientists, engineers, and technicians in utilities and industry around the world. The expansion of the existing interconnected electric power transmission systems offers significant advantages with respect to operational security, integration of renewable energy, as well as energy trading. Communication technology plays an important role in power system operation and management. This role is expanding because of lower transmission margins, fluctuating market demands, and the need for more efficient power system operation, improved reliability, and faster response to power system events. System-wide network-based communication technologies, such as SONET and Ethernet, allow contact with virtual protection, control and monitoring in the power system.
