A LABORATORY FOR RESEARCH AND TESACHING OF MICROPROCESSOR-BASES POWER SYSEM PROTECTION
Abstract: This paper describes a laboratory which is used for conducting research and teaching in the area of microprocessor-based power system protection. The details of the facilitiles and their functions are presented. The use of the laboratory for specific research and teaching functions is outlined. Student’s experiences with the use of the laboratory ate also discussed.
INTRODUCTION
The University of Saskatchewan is one of the North American universities which have power system protection as an integral part of their undergraduate and graduate curricula. The major reason is that the subject is important for power system engineers because a proper use of protective devices can substantially reduce the impacts of faults and other disturbances on the operation of a power system.
