Hi Electrical Engineering Students,
If you are interested in power systems protection, here is a paper by an expert presented through his employer a respected relay (protective device) manufacturer in USA.
The course I took at graduate level certificate (5 courses with 1 prerequisite) was on this area. This paper is involved, and I remember reading through part III.
If its an area that may interest you, the course work is provided at the University of Idaho. There are a few other institutions teaching it in USA.
Some protection manufactures do provide courses but they have the theory and problem solving but as a manufacturer they are not like a university more focused to the operation of their equipment and the purpose it serves. Such complex papers do not serve their needs, they want to get the scope of work for a protection engineer covered with respect to their equipment/device. You will not find the depth at the level a professor in the subject will expose to you.
Thought it may interest you to take up a career in power systems.
Its said to be the largest system on earth. From the generating plants, going thru the transmissions, substations, distribution substations, and finally to the end user.
I don't know if its been verified to be true but with just that much I belief it. Depending on region it is also interconnected within a country and internationally across borders.
