Industrial Power Systems Analysis and Stability

About this course

This specialization consists of 3 major courses, namely, Power System Modelling & Fault Analysis, Load Flow Analysis and Power System Stability. The course “Power System Modelling and Fault Analysis” enables the learner to understand the structure of an electrical grid network, single line diagram representation and modelling of basic power system components such as generators, motors, transformers, transmission lines and loads. Further, learner will be exposed to the methods used for symmetrical / unsymmetrical fault analysis with real time simulations. Through the course “Load flow analysis” course, learners will get familiar with the formation of network matrices and formulation of power flow equations for load flow analysis imbibed with discussion of conventional methods namely Gauss-Seidel method, Newton Raphson Method and Fast Decoupled Load Flow method. The course “Power System Stability” provides an up-to-date presentation on the significance of power system stability with a detailed classification as per IEEE taskforce along with the mathematical modelling and the approaches used for transient stability analysis of a SMIB system. The learners will get a comprehensive understanding of concepts of voltage stability, its types and determination of voltage stability indices. Further, this course provides a theoretical summary of FACTS controllers and Power System Stabilizer used for stability enhancement supported with examples of real time case studies.
