Training Introduction

The Fundamentals of the Power System Protection and Reliability Training Course offered by Coventry Academy provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of digital power system relaying principles and their practical applications. This training is designed to equip delegates with the knowledge and skills necessary to test, operate, and adjust protective relays effectively. The course emphasizes the importance of reliability and availability in power system networks, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Key features of the Coventry Academy training course include:

  • Definition and overview of all protection devices required for power systems
  • Understanding standards and regulations related to protection devices and their settings
  • Application of function tests for protection devices and power system protection and control (PDPC) analysis
  • Study of fault types and fault analysis techniques
  • Application of protection relays according to ANSI (American National Standards Institute) codes

What are the goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand power protection devices
  • Understand faults system and types  
  • Power system reliability and PD analysis
  • Load types and network availability
  • Learn Fundamental Principles of Power System Protection

Who is this Training Course for?

This Coventry Academy training course will benefit all electrical, technical & instrumentation engineers. It will help them understand more the principles of power system protection and reliability.

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Electrical power system engineers
  • Electrical technician
  • All engineers and tech work in substations, power system and electrical companies (generation, transmission, dist.)
  • For managers to understand the effect of power factor correction with cost 
  • Anyone who requires an understanding of the principles of protective relaying such as recent graduates or those who are new to the industry. Also beneficial as an update on the latest relaying technology

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This Coventry Academy training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes lecture with active delegate participation including discussions and workshops. Real life problems and case studies will be worked out and discussed. Through an active participation in the group work and class discussions, the delegates will be a lot of opportunity to increase their experience and knowledge of techniques available for equipment troubleshooting.
