Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
- Electrical Power Egineering Fundamentals - Magnetic Circuits and Transformers - Transmission Lines and Electrical Equipment
Objectives
The student will be able of analysing electric power systems in steady-state conditions, using using basic tools as per-unit quantities and load flow algorithms, and also under fault conditions (symmetrical and unsymmetrical). The student will acquire basic knowledge about the transient stability problem and the capability to analyse the transient stability in simple cases. The student will acquire basic skills in using commercial software for power system analysis.
Description of contents: programme
1. Introduction to the electric power systems. - Structure of a power system. - Per-unit quantities. 2. Load flow studies. - Problem description.
