Application of modern technologies to ensure operational reliability and safety in energy systems of Azerbaijan

Abstract

Currently, Azerbaijan  is  implementing  large-scale  projects  to  restore  infrastructure  in the territories recently liberated from occupation. This includes, in particular, the construction of new modern power plants and electrical networks of modern design and high power. This, in turn, requires  the  use  of  reliable  and  effective  methods  of  safety  and  protection  of  these  systems  from any failures or damage. In this regard, this article considers a wide range of issues on the use of modern  technologies  and  developments  for  the  protection  of  power  systems,  as  well  as  analyzes  the  optimal  concepts of management and protection of  power grids, which are most suitable in the  local  conditions  of  the  regions,  as  well  as  on  the  scale  of  the  energy  system  of  the  whole country.
