The application of protection concepts and the definition and analysis of protection settings is an important aspect of the safe operation of electrical power supply networks.

Using practical examples, the participants will familiarise themselves with the fundamentals of overcurrent, distance and differential protection handling in PowerFactory.

PowerFactory’s extensive protection toolset will be applied to a variety of applications including directional overcurrent protection coordination, impact analysis of parallel lines on distance protection and the automatic determination of distance protection zone reach settings.

The third day is dedicated to the automated auditing of protection settings and the modelling of relay intercommunication scheme.
