ELEC70074 Power System Dynamics Stability and Control


Lecturer(s): Prof Bikash Pal

Aims

This module presents modelling of major components in interconnected electricity network for stability analysis and control from system perspective. The knowledge provided will involve how power system behaves during and after the steady operating equilibrium is disturbed. It will provide understanding of the mechanism of interactions between major components in the systems. Both synchronous, asynchronous generation technologies, their associated control for system voltage, frequency support will be explained.

Learning Outcomes

On successfully completing this module you should be able to: 1 Develop model for power generation systems - both synchronous and asynchronous - for power system dynamic studies. 2 Interpret the parameters of the common dynamic modelling blocks in a power system dynamic simulation software. 3 Assess and validate generation system dynamic response through frequency domain analysis, eigen-value analysis and other common dynamic system analysis tools. 4 Evaluate system stability margins for control design in power systems control.
