Aims

- To introduce the future engineer into the design, the computation and the exploitation of electric power systems,
- To give a basic training on the electric power systems in use in the industrial environment (large industry or SME), as well as in the generation, transmission and distribution companies, or designed in engineering consultancies.

Content and teaching methods

- Electricity as an energetic factor,
- Architecture of the power systems/ Voltage systems (AC-DC),
- Per unit system/ Symmetrical components, Clarke components,
- Modelling : three-phase transformers, transmission systems (overhead lines, cables), generators (modelling in steady state, transient and subtransient, capability curve, excitation systems),
- Power flow in a meshed network. State estimator,
- Voltage control,
- Frequency and active power control,
- Tertiary control of the generation/ Management of a generation park,
- Introduction to planning of power grids,
- Unbalanced regimes and short-circuits,
- Protections

Other information (prerequisite, evaluation (assessment methods), course materials recommended readings, ...)

Teaching method :
- Interactive course, based on a thorough professional experience in the domain,
- Practical exercices proposed via Internet + training together
- Computer computations on power flows, voltage control and frequency control in a meshed network (two students teams).

Prerequisites :
Nihil

Assessment :
Report of the computer computations and related topics
Written (theory + exercice) and oral examination the same half-day
