Course overview
The stability of the North American Bulk Power System (BPS) relies on the correct performance of protection systems used throughout the Bulk Electrical System (BES). From time to time, misoperations occur across the BES and are negated by protection systems of all types. To maintain system stability, technicians and NERC system operators must know the standards pertaining to misoperation identification and correction. The Protection System Misoperation training course defines the term misoperation and identifies conditions registering this way. This online course is part of the System Protection training series.
