Course Description
The course provides information on issues related to power systems control mechanisms
and coordination of power systems.

 Course Objectives
To help students understand the concept of protection and coordination
in power systems.

 To equip students with knowledge of different faults, their types and methods of
calculation.

 To teach students the different protection components their operation and how they can
be discriminated from others for the right action.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course students should be able:

 To design different protection schemes for different systems.

 To choose the right protection equipment suited for different systems.
