Power System Dynamics and Control
The Electric power system contains several thousands of major
generating units, tens of thousands of transmission lines, millions of
transformers, and hundreds of millions of protection and control
devices. Managing this staggering number of equipments is a daunting
task indeed for power system operators and engineers. One of the main
challenging tasks is how to maintain the stable operation of this
immense and complex power system at all times.
Power system
dynamics and control deals with the ability of every generator in the
system to stay in synchronism with the rest of the grid following
unexpected disturbances. The
course is divided into two parts: the first is analysis where various
equipments in power system are studied in terms of its dynamic behavior.
The second part is Power
system control which deals with the ability of the grid to maintain
operation under disturbances.
