Simulation of a Radial Power System Protection Training:Developing a Software Tool based on Excel / VBA Based Software

Masters Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - Computer Engineering, grade: 6, course: Project and Dissertation, language: English, abstract: The aim of this work is to develop a set of analysis tools to be used for a radial power system protection training. This project is developed as a training model and teaching tool to investigate radial power system protection. The model will serve as supplementary material or training module for engineers entering this field. The aim is to use Excel / Visual Basic Applications based software to allow interactive presentation and analysis. Many existing materials are covering most of the topics in a very deep manner. Without any support, the student will have difficulties understanding the topics. This software contains the essential material to cover the basic concepts of radial power system protection. It is developed in such a way that the students need no extra resources to understand the principles of protection systems.
