Power system analysis

ECE4053

Synopsis

This unit aims to develop the foundation for exploring tools and methods to analyse electric power systems. It provides an introduction to main elements such as generators, transformers, transmission lines, and loads and their mathematical models. Then using these models, the unit presents analytical tools to analyse the power system in steady state and under fault conditions. In particular, tools and techniques for power flow, symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults, voltage control, frequency control, and system stability will be studied in detail. Finally, electromagnetic transients in power systems will be introduced.
