The aim of the course is to enable students to have the background knowledge of power system operation, and able to model, solve and analyse power systems during steady state and faulted conditions for different studies. Also study different elements and operation of smart grid systems.
A. Gain the knowledge in analysing the basic power system operation issues under steady state conditions; Gain the knowledge in using power system state estimation incorporate with phasor measurement unit (PMU) technique; Have in-depth knowledge in the operation of microgrids and smart grids.
B. Gain knowledge and understanding of the concepts of security constrained power system operation; Gain knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of electricity market and the difference with traditional operation; Be familiar with different electricity market models and pricing strategies.
C. Explain relevant theories and technology; Use optimisation techniques for economic operation of power systems; Use DC load flow for power system contingency analysis.
D. Use Matlab and different programs for power system analysis; Use optimization / cooptimisation techniques for electricity market operation.
E. Calculate and analyse fault conditions via symmetrical components; Design and analyse protective relaying schemes; Design and analysis smart grids.
F. Apply their knowledge and skills in resolving the specified research and design problems.
This module will be delivered through a combination of formal lectures and laboratory and tutorials. Students will receive regular feedback on laboratory reports to help them to monitor their progress.
