Overview
Computer-aided power system modeling (222 - 13998)
Study: Bachelor in Electrical Power Engineering
Semester 2/Spring Semester
3RD Year Course/Upper DivisionSTUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE COMPLETED:
Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering
Competences and Skills that will be Acquired and Learning Results:
The student will be able to:
- Explain the differences between a electromagnetic transients program and a electromechanical transients program
- Explain the scope of the power system analysis software tool PSS/E
- Enumerate the data needed to solve a power flow
- Use these data to solve a power flow in PSS/E
- Perform a contingency analysis in PSS/E
- Perform a voltage stability analysis in PSS/E
- Perform an optimal power flow in PSS/E
- Enumerate the data needed to simulate a severe perturbation in a power system
- Use these data to execute a dynamic simulation in PSS/E
- Extract relevant information from the output of a dynamic simulation
- Perform these tasks in PSS/E automaticallyDescription of Contents/Course Description:
- Electromagnetic transient simulation
- Power flow
- Contingency analysis
- Economic dispatch
- Voltage stability
- Optimal power flow
- Electromechanical transient simulation
- Synchronous generator models
- ProtectionsLearning Activities and Methodology:
Classroom sessions, in which the teacher will explain the theoretical contents.
Practical sessions in a computer room. The student will use software tools commonly used by the electric utilities, specially PSS/E. The student will apply the theoretical concepts to practical examples.
Assessment System:
The continuous assessment mark is A*T, where
A is the attendance mark
T is the mark of the works performed along the course.If the grade obtained in the continuous assessment is equal or more than 6 over 10, then it is not necessary to do the end-of-term examination. In this case, the final grade will be that of the continuous assessment.
