Aims

To develop an understanding of the power system component modelling for steady-state analysis and the types of problems encountered in power system analysis. To consider the principles of voltage and reactive power control in power systems.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Undertake complex modelling of various components of a power system, as required for steady-state power system analysis.
2.
Design systems for reactive power compensation and voltage control in the power system.
3.
Critically analyse symmetrical and asymmetrical fault conditions in the power system.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Load modelling (constant impedance representation) and modelling of reactive power compensators. Star-delta and delta-star impedance transformation. Impedance drop, voltage and voltage regulation. Modelling of two-winding and three-winding three-phase transformers Modelling of short and medium-length overhead transmission lines, cable modelling. Modelling of synchronous generators (turbo- and hydro-machinery) Per unit system and representation of the power system components in per unit. Calculation of voltages in various nodes of the power system. Symmetrical components and sequence networks of power system components. Faults in power systems: three-phase symmetrical short-circuit Faults in power systems: asymmetrical short circuit analysis using symmetrical Components. Reactive power compensation using synchronous condensers and static VAr compensators. On-load tap changing transformers.
