Power System Dynamics. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Restrictions: Students are required to have electrical engineering background or related engineering or physical science backgrounds. The aim of this course is to provide students with knowledge in the analysis of power system dynamics and stability, focusing on practical applications in the energy market. The course presents power system stability, representation of synchronous machines, AC transmission modeling in stability studies, static and dynamic load models, steam and hydro turbines, governing systems, HVDC systems and their representation in stability studies, small-signal stability, small-signal stability of a single machine and multimachine systems, transient stability, simulation of power system dynamic response, direct method of transient stability analysis, voltage stability and voltage collapse, wide-area monitoring, and the impact of wind integration on power system dynamics. Additionally, the course explores the operation of wind energy in the power market to provide a comprehensive understanding of the evolving energy landscape.
