General
Aim
  • The goals of the course are is to provide knowledge and practice the ability to use classical as well as modern analysis and design methods for the control of Electric Power Systems. More specifically, by the end, students should be able to:

    - understand and identify key stability phenomena in power systems
    - understand the commonly used mathematical models of power systems
    - select and analyse power system models for describing said phenomena
    - understand how to implement said models on a computer
    - understand the basics of control system design for improving power system performance
Contents
  • The course will cover the following core topics on stability of electric power systems:
    - General Characteristics and Stability Problems in Power Systems
    - Synchronous Machine Modelling
    - AC Transmission Modelling
    - Optimal Power Flow
    - Frequency Stability
    - Small Signal Stability
    - Transient Stability
    - Voltage Stability
Knowledge and Understanding
  • For a passing grade the doctoral student must
  • - Know and understand the different types of models used to describe stability phenomena in electric power systems
    - Know and understand the common design methods for improving stability and performance in power systems
    - Know and understand the limitations of these methods and approaches, especially with respect to the modernisation of electric grids through the integration of renewables
Competences and Skills
  • For a passing grade the doctoral student must
  • - Be able to use software (Matlab/Python/PowerFactory) to simulate key stability phenomena in power systems
    - Be able to implement standard control algorithms and protocols for improving power system stability in simulation
Judgement and Approach
  • For a passing grade the doctoral student must
  • - Understand how to match different theoretical tools to different practical problems
    - Show ability for teamwork and group collaboration
Types of Instruction
  • Lectures
  • Exercises
  • Project
  • Self-study literature review
Examination Formats
  • Written assignments
  • Seminars given by participants
  • The course will be primarily assessed based on a series of software handin assignments, in which each of the key areas of power system stability will be tested. In addition there will be a miniproject assignment, where each student will investigate one power system stability phenomenon further. They will write a report and give a group presentation on the outcome of the miniproject.
