Course overview
Obtaining raw data about system parameters and making proper decisions from that data requires understanding the methodologies and limitations of the equipment used. Quick and successful system parameter evaluation needs procedures to conveniently compare the parameters to a reference standard. These procedures are directed by NERC standard PRC-002 to ensure availability of adequate disturbance data to analyze BES events.
The Monitoring System Conditions training course explains the purpose of PRC-002. It discusses how system conditions are monitored through the application of per-unit measurement, AC polarity, and basic potential transformer and current transformer construction and operation. This online course highlights:
- Monitoring system conditions in compliance with PRC-002
- Units and phasors
- Transformers and polarity
- Potential transformers
- Current transformers
Monitoring System Conditions is part of the System Protection training series.
