Control and protection engineering of electrical substations

Abstract

This paper presents the results

of a review on different

engineering projects for

the control and relaying of

electrical substations. A general

introduction to substations and

their functions within a power

system is given, along with

a description of their control

system and philosophy. In

the work, different projects

have been analyzed and, as a

result, the study has identifi ed

the aspects to be considered

in a good engineering

project, adapted to today’s

complex requirements on

the automation and relaying

of electrical substations,

and the documentation to

include. The paper concludes

with a discussion on future

developments in the control

engineering of these facilities.
