The educational model of the system integrity protection scheme

Lifestyle of modern society results in rising need for electric energy. On the other hand, reduction of pollution and increase of energy efficiency leads to integration of renewable energy sources. Dynamic and unpredictable loads make the power system operation a challenging task, which results in lower security margins and large power system blackouts. Therefore, power utilities are collaborating with experts from industry and researchers from academia on development of technical solutions and concepts that should support secure and economical power system operation. Regarding the power system protection, instead of focusing on only the faulted element, the power system is considered as a whole, which brings us to variety of System Integrity Protection Schemes (SIPS). The paper investigates application of the synchronized measurement technology for development of the SIPS. Simulation of the test power system is performed in the Siemens PSS/E. Among further improvement of the proposed solution and development of new schemes, the model has educational value, as it will be used as part of laboratory exercises at The University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering, in order to educate future generations of engineers about emerging technologies.
