The subject is taught in programs

Objectives and competences

Students will obtain an overview of power system protection and control mechanisms. Students will become familiar with the basic principles of power system protection eqipment, control systems and their development, also with the data networks and communication paths, singnal proccessing, standards and protocols in the field of power system protection and control.

Teaching and learning methods

Lectures and exercises.

Expected study results

After successful completion of the course, students should be able to:

– develop mathematical models for all types of short circuits occurring during power system operation,

– describe physical phenomena in devices during short circuit occurrence,

– interpret basic principles of protection of individual devices or set of devices and control systems,

– conceptualization and realization of protective and control systems and automation of power systems,

– explain and upgrade automation and control function in the practice.
