Generator Protection Short Course
The College of Engineering and Computer Science, in cooperation with the Division of Continuing Education, is offering a series of seminars on generator protection. The next seminar is scheduled for June 1-4, 2009, in the Engineering, Math, and Computer Science (EMCS) building at UTC.
Leveraging the world-class expertise of the Department of Electrical Engineering's faculty, this course explores the fundamental principles of relaying, faults analysis, and electrical machines. It provides an in-depth study of generator protection and the new generator protection developments in the IEEE Guides.
Who Should Attend
Electric-power utility engineers who need in depth understanding of the design concepts and methods used in protecting generation systems. Engineers with protective relaying equipment supply companies. University power system educators and graduate students.
Prerequisites
Participants should have an electrical engineering degree or equivalent experience and basic knowledge of symmetrical components, protective relay and power system protection.
