The Intelligent Protective Relaying

Download or read book The Intelligent Protective Relaying written by Loganathan Moorthy and published by Moorthy Loganathan. This book was released on with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook instilling confidence and understanding of the concepts in electrical engineering students and engineers and master students thesis to the most relevant concepts and techniques relating to all dimensions of electrical power system protection, testing, operation and control. Addresses the philosophy, principles, characteristics of protective relaying, why test protective relays, mechanical inspection & electrical tests (e.g for Distance Relay testing-have to determine maximum reach, determine maximum torque angle, determine offset and Plot impedance circle), field test procedure for protective relays and relay functions, definitions of relay terms, periodic maintenance tests, and maintenance of protective relays, IEEE device numbers & functions, with an emphasis on advanced topics and practical aspects, Instrument transformer dielectric tests field acceptance table, protective zone packages, accuracy of potential transformers & current transformers, Transmission system protection, Protection of generators, Protection of motors, Protection of power transformers, Backup protection, Power swings and loss of synchronism, the topics are substantiated by a number of illustrations. With its wide and up-to-date coverage, the book would be indispensable to engineers in the relay industry, field engineers, and research & development personnel. It would also be useful as a reference text for students of electrical engineering. Learning benefits : Enhance knowledge of the basic industrial system protection techniques including, fault analysis and over voltage assessment, further understanding of protective devices being used in your organization, determine own relay settings and thoroughly understand the philosophy of protective systems, hear actual cases illustrating various techniques in present use and highlighting particular approaches used by experienced system designers, become aware of recommended practices in applying or approving protection schemes, understand problems generally faced and solutions successfully adopted by industry, learn to calculate the basic fault currents flowing in any part of the electrical system, improve electrical system protection against faults and over voltages and be ready to select and apply microprocessor-based multi-function relays. Author Loganathan Moorthy is specialised in Power system engineering, Protection system and Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering with varies industries of solid practical experience in Refineries, Power plants and oil & gas offshore and onshore exploration industries. 32 years in the Electrical, Electronics and Instrumentation field of Oil & gas industries and power plants in various senior position, I have acquired the ability to work and find solutions for many challenges, switching from ‘dumb iron' to an efficient and high tech operations.
