Unit description |
Unit description
The course will provide students with essential knowledge in the mathematical techniques to analyse power systems during steady-state and transient operations of power systems with large-scale distributed generation and energy storage systems. It will provide strong foundation in classical methods and modern techniques in power systems for senior level electrical engineering students for analysing system's performance with renewable generators, new loads (EV) and storage. Topics covered comprise: review of the basic concepts used in power system analysis: phasors, complex power, three phase systems and per-unit; application of network matrices techniques and power flow analysis to study the steady-state and dynamic behaviour of power systems with distributed energy resources; power system fault calculations including: symmetrical components, symmetrical faults, and unsymmetrical faults ; power system stability and control in the presence of variable sources, loads and storage; An overview of power system protection principles; voltage stability in smart grids, the impact of power system analysis in the context of smart grid, transmission and distribution systems, insulators and substation. |

Laboratory sessions and submission of lab reprot by the end of each session. Students will be assessed based on thier attendance, participation, performance, and their ability to perform analysis, modeling and implementation of the practical experiment as well as software tools . There is no laboratory session in week 1. Students need to record all the laboratory results (and printouts) and submit a report for each experiment.
Students need to attend 5 out of 6 lab sessions in order to pass the unit.
Assessment Type 1: Quiz/Test
Indicative Time on Task 2: 8 hours
Due: Week 8
Weighting: 20%
A quiz is scheduled right after the midsemester break. The quiz will assess both factual knowledge and problem solving.
Assessment Type 1: Project
Indicative Time on Task 2: 20 hours
Due: Weeks 13 & 14
