Aims

At the end of the course, students will be able to :
- Master power system modelling and simulation and understand the stability issue,
- Grasp the technical aspects and the economic weight of frequency and voltage amplitude control,
- Understand the physics of transient phenomena having in mind to limit their importance and effects

Content and teaching methods

Bulk power system dynamics
. dynamic models of the power systems
. dynamics of the primary frequency control
. dynamics of the secondary load frequency control
. steady state stability, transient stability, long term stability, voltage stability
. means to improve the power systems stability

Localized dynamic phenomena
. switching on and off power installations
. transient overvoltages
. mitigation methods

Interactive course, based on a thorough professional experience in the domain
Dynamic simulations making use of MatLab/Simulink
Practical exercices are proposed, to be further considered at the plenary lessons
