Headings with content from the Course syllabus EG2030 (Autumn 2010–) are denoted with an asterisk ( )

Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course is given in English, and treats models and computation methods for power system stability and control. In the course assignments these models and methods are applied to solve realistic problems with computer programs written in MATLAB.

The following areas are treated in the course:

Optimal load flow and sensitivity analysis: reactive power dispatching to decrease power losses.

Fault analysis: system models, and calculation of fault currents where there is an unbalanced fault.

Stability: transient and small-signal stability, and simulation models.

Control: power oscillation damping and frequency control.

Intended learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course the

student will be able to

  • Perform an optimal power flow for reactive power dispatching to decrease power losses.
  • Analyze the system performance where there is an unbalanced fault, and also calculate the corresponding fault current.
  • Create mathematical models for dynamic and stability analysis of multi-machine power systems.
  • Describe and analyze electromechanical modes in power systems.
  • Design excitation systems to improve transient stability, and power oscillations damping.
  • Explain and perform frequency control.
  • Apply the theory to real-life problems.
