Starting with the fundamental principles of a three-phase electric power system, this course considers such matters as power and reactive power flows, load flow calculations, symmetrical and unsymmetrical fault conditions and network harmonics and the impact of embedded generation on the local distribution network. Later, the students will be introduced to the principles of power system economics.
The course will also cover the following subjects; protection systems overview; protective devices; coordination and sequencing of relays; grounding practices; impedance protection. Methods of power systems operation and control; load-frequency control, automatic generation control. Modeling power system protection and control using power system analysis software, emphasizing renewable resources.
