Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
This course covers the stability and control of the electric power system. The course starts with a presentation of large power outages in the world. Then, different instabilities in electric power system will be presented and discussed in the course. After that, we will be able to analyse the large power outages in the world presented in the first lecture. Furthermore, different control algorithms for improving power system stability will be presented.
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student shall be able to
- create mathematical models for describing power system dynamics,
- based on the derived mathematical models, apply different basic methods to
a) study and analyse the basic concept for the presented instabilities in power systems
b) improve the stability of the system based on basic control algorithms, - numerically carry out the second intended learning outcomes by using Matlab, and present and discuss obtained numerical results.
