494
Credits: 
2
Offered: 
Fall
Pre-Requisites
EE 493: Protection of Power Systems I

(or corequisite)
A concurrent understanding of power system protection fundamentals, properties and models of synchronous and induction machines, transformers and transmission lines, computer programming ability.

Class Information
Structure: 

Two 3-hour laboratories per week. Lecture during the laboratory to augment the EE 493 lectures. The students will maintain a laboratory notebook reporting the details of each experiment, including the object, pertinent theory, connection diagrams, computer programs, results, analysis and conclusions. The laboratory notebooks will be graded on a regular basis. Computer usage would include Matlab, ASPEN OneLiner (fault analysis and relay coordination), SEL test, and Doble protest programs.

Topics: 
  • Introduction. Wire heating and fuse elements (2 labs)
  • DOBLE relay test equipment (1 lab)
  • Auxiliary relays (1 lab)
  • ASPEN OneLiner fault simulation (1 lab)
  • Fault computations in looped systems (1 lab)
  • Electromechanical time overcurrent relays (2 labs)
  • ASPEN OneLiner relay coordination (1 lab)
  • Directional electromechanical overcurrent relays (1 lab)
  • Digital overcurrent relays (1 lab)
  • O/C relay coordination in looped systems (1 lab)
