| dc.description.abstract | This project report details the creation of a customized scheme circuit board for Power System Protection and Coordination laboratory studies, a course module pursued by fourth year Electrical engineering students at College of Engineering, Design, Art and Technology (CEDAT), Makerere University. This design was aimed at giving the students an opportunity to a field experience of power system protection on a lab basis. Moreover, a laboratory of this type facilitates educational opportunities as well as providing numerous additional benefits such as research.
Herein, as well, are simulation based protocols in various simulation software environments for larger power networks to enable the students simulate such networks, where the actual performance of protection equipment cannot be measured on lab basis. The students are able to model, set and coordinate protection equipment, test their functionality during fault, and observe the output characteristics at real time occurrence that are a replica of the large power systems | en_US |
