SYNOPSIS

This seminar is intended to introduce the attendees to the topic of Protective Relaying. With development of digital relays in the early 80-ties, the opportunities for enhancing relaying functions and using relays for extensive monitoring and control applications have been constantly expanding.  This Workshop is focused on the modern relay capabilities and their role in the smart grid developments. The discussion will include design issues and application features as well as the issues of testing and standardization.  The information is intended to update the understanding of what the new digital relays can offer, how they may be applied, and the deployment issues.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Design, Plant and Project engineers responsible for protective relaying in distribution and transmission systems.
