System planning and protection engineering - An overview

System planners are responsible for future planning of system and substation/protection engineers are responsible for the protection system and design. An engineer with an experience of both planning and protection can plan and design an adequate system and protection for the future. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive reference document to the practicing engineers, researchers, and academicians of fast growing developing countries about the system planning and protection engineering techniques and tools practiced in North American Power System, which is one of the largest and most advance power systems.
