Course content

The course will cover:
• General background and overview of power system stability issues (angle and voltage stability, transient, midterm and long-term stability)
• Synchronous machine theory and modelling
• Machine representation in stability studies
• AC transmission components
• Power system loads
• Excitation systems
• Prime movers and energy supply systems
• HVDC
• Control of active power and reactive power
• Small-signal stability
• Transient stability
• Methods for improving stability
The course material gives an in-depth description of the topics where parts of it are covered in the prerequisite courses. A subset of approximately 400 pages will be defined for examination.

Learning outcome

To give a deep understanding of issues related to power system stability and control. The topics covered will include component modelling (generation, load, transmission), control systems and analytical techniques.

Learning methods and activities

The teaching is based on a colloqium approach, where each topic is briefly presented before a more detailed discussion takes place. All participants must prepare before each colloqium. There will also be theoretical practises (voluntary) as well as use of Matlab.
The course is given every second year, next time spring 2011.

Required previous knowledge

TTK4105 Control Engineering, TET4110 Electrical Machines, TET4115 Power System Analyses, TET4180 Power System Stability or equivalent courses.
