EENG 5242G - Power System Protection w/Lab (4 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 0,3 Lab Hours: 0,2
This course reviews the need for the protection of power systems and discusses the measurement methods used in protection for reading and digitizing the electrical parameters by a comprehensive study of faults (e.g., short circuits) and their negative consequences on electric grids with reference to industrial standards. Protective relays used in power systems for clearing the faults and the use of new technologies, such as inverters and distributed energy sources (DER’s), the protection issues are investigated. Graduate students will be required to complete individual advanced-level research in an area beyond the scope of the undergraduate requirements that demonstrates a higher level of mastery in the subject matter with additional required deliverables representative of graduate-level work, as determined by the instructor.
