Course overview
Generators are critical components of the Bulk Electric System. They are the power source for the various loads on the system. When their output is affected, it can result in instability or System Operating Limits violations. For this reason, NERC issued PER-006 which requires training for generation plant personnel. This training must cover the operational functionality of Protection Systems and Remedial Action Schemes that affect the output of the generating facilities they operate.
The PER-006 for Generator Operators training course explains the operational functionality of Protection Schemes and Remedial Action Schemes. This online course covers:
- Relay protection fundamentals
- Breaker and relay basics
- Zones of protection and relay identification
- Relay control circuits
- Generator fault characteristics and device coordination
- Generator system protection
- Generator backup protection
- Remedial action schemes
PER-006 for Generator Operators is part of the Introduction to NERC training series.
