Symmetrical Components for Power System Protection Engineers
What you'll learn
- Theoretical concepts needed for power system protection such as phasors and symmetrical components
- Power system protection and control fundamentals
- How to manually calculate fault currents in three-phase, phase-phase, and phase-ground faults
- All the different sequence interconnections for faults
Requirements
- Understanding of power system analysis
Description
This course is the foundation for a career in power system protection and control. Power system protection and control ensures the reliable continuous operation of power systems and is therefore an essential area of power engineering. In this course you will learn about symmetrical components, which is a very important mathematical technique used in power system protection and control for the easier analysis of power system faults. The course is divided into the following sections:
1. Phasors and Polarity: in section 2, we will begin by discussing phasors and polarity since these are two key concepts to understand prior to diving deep into the symmetrical components technique for analyzing faults. We will also be discussing the concepts of phase rotation in power systems and directionality as it relates to protective relaying.
2. Symmetrical Components: in section 3, we will discuss symmetrical components in great detail. Since faults are often unbalanced, the concept of symmetrical components, which simplifies the analysis of unbalanced faults, is key for power system protection and control. We will thoroughly discuss symmetrical components and its use in power system protection and control and will end the section with several examples to aid our understanding.
By learning all the fundamentals about power system protection and control, you will be able to continue your study of power systems for a career in power engineering and electrical engineering.

Hi!
My name is Ricardo Romero and I am an Electrical Engineer with over ten years of experience in Power Systems. I obtained my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am also a licensed Professional Engineer in Power Systems in the states of Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia in the United States.
Although my professional experience is mainly in Power Systems, I am also passionate about other topics in Electrical Engineering including Analog Electronics, Control Systems, Digital Design, Digital Signal Processing, Electric Machinery, and Power Electronics. I gained knowledge in these areas of Electrical Engineering during my undergraduate and graduate studies, as well as during my professional career, and am excited to teach about them in Udemy.
My goal is to create high quality courses that cover both the theory behind a topic as well as real-world applications. Should you have any questions regarding any of my courses, please feel free to contact me.
