This course analyzes the dynamics of interconnected power systems and the different types of power system stability. The mathematical models of the elements that govern the system dynamics will be reviewed. In addition, stability analysis methods and mitigation measures against rotor-angle, voltage, and frequency instability scenarios will be studied.
Learning objective
The course's learning objective is to understand the concept of stability and control of electrical power systems, including their analysis methods. At the end of the course, participants will be able to model the behavior of the elements and controllers that govern the dynamics of power systems and understand the participation of each element/controller in the different types of stability of interconnected electrical systems.
Content
The modeling of the power system and its components is reviewed first. It includes static and dynamic loads, load tap changers, synchronous machines, exciters, automatic voltage regulators, power system stabilizers, turbines, governors, and inverter-based generators followed by the study of the stability of the power system and the integration of renewable energies such as wind, solar, and energy storage systems. The learning process is complemented by numerical examples, Python scripts, and computer simulations.
