Schedule

Taught for 12 weeks.

Lecturer

No lecturer found.

Content

To obtain knowledge about conditions in electric power systems that can lead to stability problems, to understand which physical mechanisms are the cause of power system instability, and to give the student insight in the theoretical background for analysis methods used for assessment of system stability. Hands-on experience will be obtained by carrying out numerical simulations and analysis in Matlab/Python, where students analyse different stability problems implementing and applying appropriate models and methods for analysis.

Learning outcome - Objectives

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

Knowledge:
• Explain the principal causes of power system stability problems (frequency, transient rotor angle, smallsignal rotor angle and voltage stability problems);
• Reflect on how the power system stability problems are affected by grid related limitation for the transfer of active power and the machine related limitation for the injection of active and reactive power;

Skills:
• Apply the mathematical model of the synchronous machine to analyze it under stationary and transient conditions;
• Explain the key concepts for primary frequency control in power systems and reflect on how inertina, loads´ frequency dependency and regulation constant influence the system´s frequency response ;

Competances:
• Analyze rotor angle small-signal stability problems by applying small-signal analysis;
• Analyze transient stability problems and describe means to protect the system against transient stability problem

Course assessment

The students will work on four hand-in assignments throughout the semester. The hand-in reports form the basis for the evaluation of their performance during the semester.
