ADVANCED POWER SYSTEM PROTECTION AND SWITCHGEAR
SUBJECT CODE: 2710707
SEMESTER: I
Type of course: Engineering
Prerequisite: Fundamentals of Power System; Basics of Generation, Transmission and Distribution
Systems, Operation of various equipments used in Power System
Rationale: The protection of power system is very important for its reliability and stability point of view. It is
very important to cut / remove unhealthy part of the system during fault / or abnormal condition without
affecting normal functions in remaining part of the system. A fast detection and speedy removal of fault is
very important for system stability but at the same unwanted tripping may create unwanted problems and
disturbance in system. A new algorithm and advance technology for protection of system is incorporated in
the syllabus.
