Dr. Chi Tang, P.Eng.

This course introduces the different types of operating constraints as encountered by power system operators and engineers during real time operation of interconnected power grids. For each type of operating constraint, the most common operating strategies and control measures will be discussed and analyzed.

3 unit(s) A project that is based on the knowledge gained from previous semesters. Such a project involves research, design, development and implementation of a process. Three lectures; one term Prerequisite(s): ENRTECH 4CT3, 4PD3, 4PM3; or one of ENRTECH 4RE3, 4RT3 and registration in Power and Energy Engineering Technology Antirequisite(s): ENRTECH 4EP3

3 unit(s) New generation of digital fault detection systems. Balanced faults, computer-based fault studies, symmetrical components and sequence networks, unbalanced short-circuit and open-circuit faults. Three lectures; one lab (two hours every other week); one term Prerequisite(s): ENRTECH 4PM3 and registration in Power and Energy Engineering Technology

3 unit(s) Various power devices such as relays, circuit breaker, power monitor, control devices and other components used in a power system protection. Other devices such as CTs, and Pts and substation hardware will also be covered.
