Title: Analyze schemes for electric distribution system protection and management.
Course: Energy and Power (20101-18) > Section: Exploring Electric Transmission, Distribution, and Storage

Analysis should include schemes such as

- right-of-way management
- systems operations and scheduled maintenance
- sectionalization
- rolling blackouts.

Analysis may include case studies or examples such as

- Storm Uri in Texas (deregulation; renewables; capacity)
- involuntary load shedding in South Africa.

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why are rolling blackouts used?
- How might an electric distribution system be damaged if rolling blackouts were not used?
- What role does sectionalization play in protecting the distribution system?
- What are the components of systems operation?
