ELL400: Power System Protection

Semester: Spring

Offered: 2024

This course is designed as an introductory module for undergraduate students, aiming to offer a thorough and contemporary overview of protection safety systems and advancements in switchgear within modern power systems. Encompassing the entire spectrum of protection, from instrument transformers to circuit breakers, it delves into a comprehensive range of relays, spanning from traditional electromechanical to cutting-edge numerical relays. Additionally, the course explores successful implementations of synchrophasor technology for effective power grid management. It further provides a theoretical overview, accompanied by real-life engineering examples, addressing a diverse array of technical challenges. In essence, this course serves as a bridge, connecting theoretical advancements, and practical applications in real-world engineering scenarios.

ELP101: Introduction to Electrical Engineering Laboratory

The objective of this laboratory is to serve as a dynamic environment where students explore fundamental concepts through hands-on experiments and projects. In EE labs, students encounter a range of experiments based on: CRO (mechanism and usage). KCL, KVL, Network theorem verification. Step/ transient response of RL, RC, RLC, circuits. Steady state response of Circuits of sinusoidal excitation. Diode experiment (clipping, clamping and rectification). Basic circuits using op-amp. Transformers OC and SC tests. BH loop in an iron core, DC and AC motor – for observation only. A small mini-project.

ELP303: Power Engineering Laboratory

Experiments will be conducted on 3-phase alternators and transformers for measuring their sequence impedance. Directional, overcurrent and differential protection relays will be studied. Computer simulation for power flow, short circuit and stability studies of interconnected power systems. Numerical relays and synchrophasors will be introduced. FACTS devices will be experimented.

ELQ301: Seminar Course

The objective of this non-graded component is to provide the students with an opportunity to develop their skills in preparing write-ups, making presentations, and reading / listening to others’ write-ups / presentations. The seminar sessions are generally held for two hours per week.
