Introduction:
This course offers the unique opportunity to learn all the steps in using advanced software and hardware tools to perform transient testing of protective relays.
The course starts with simulating electromagnetic transients using the ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP). The relay design part of the course provides insides of modern digital relays and helps in understanding the behavior of relays under transient test. Digital simulators part is focusing on the requirements, hardward and related software tools. The testing practices and methodologies using transient modeling and digital simulators are presented.
Exceptional laboratory resources are available at TAMU including personal computers, digital simulators and variety of digital relays to be used in the hands-on part of this short course.
