Course Summary
Contact Hours
The course consists of 2 hours of lectures each week, a 2-hour tutorial and a 3hour laboratory session every alternate week.

Context: Power system are complex networks of generators and loads

interconnected via transmission lines and various types of equipment and
apparatus (transformers, switchgear, etc.).
An overview of modern power
systems meeting present and future challenges involves understanding the fast
changing structure of this system, the behavior of its components under steady
state, and dynamic and transient conditions. The course helps with an
understanding to evaluate the response of this complex system to variation of
loads, and determine how this system can be controlled to supply the loads
reliably, while it is safe to the environment.

Aims: The course will provide students with essential knowledge in the
mathematical techniques to analyze power systems, both under steady state and
dynamic conditions.

Topics covered comprise: review of the basic concepts used in advanced power
system: power system diagram, per unit system; application of network matrices
techniques and power flow analysis to study the steady-state and dynamic
behavior of power systems; power fault calculations including: symmetrical
components, symmetrical faults, and unsymmetrical faults; power system
stability by introduction of swing equation, and a single-machine-infinite-bus
analysis.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the subject, students should be able to:
1.
illustrate bus admittance and impedance matrices to be applied in power
system analysis
2.
explain and analyze load flow, power control, fault studies and transient
stability
3.
analyze load flow, power control, fault studies and transient stability using
simulation software.
