Power system engineers must ensure a mixture of intermittent renewable generation, hydro, nuclear and storage can satisfy the electrical energy demand of an increasingly electrified world. This needs increasingly smarter and more resilient local distribution grids, operating in conjunction with national/regional transmission grids interconnected to neighbours via HVDC or AC (EHV/UHV) interties. This module aims to expand your knowledge on practical issues related to system adequacy, reliability and resilience from different technological, societal and environmental perspectives. The objective is to increase your understanding of transient and voltage stability with an emphasis on disturbances caused by switching actions and short-circuit faults. Symmetrical components will be used to calculate and analyse balanced and unbalanced faults in a power network. The module will also include the fundamental relaying principles needed to achieve fast, dependable, selective, secure and stable protection, and discuss more recent probabilistic techniques and indices now applied to system adequacy and post-disturbance recovery. A framework for system resilience assessment will be established during this module.
This module aims to educate you about the concepts of power system adequacy, reliability and resilience; with an emphasis on power system control, dynamics, operation and protection.
On successful completion of this module you should be able to:
1.Explain the methods used for frequency and voltage control
2.Use commercial software to analyse the stability of a reduced power system model
3.Understand how probabilistic techniques are used to analyse power system reliability and resilience
4.Understand different fault types in power system, and apply the symmetrical component method to build up the sequence networks and calculate the fault currents under symmetrical and asymmetrical fault conditions
5.Explain the fundamental design and operating principles of protection relays
6.Design and coordinate a simple time and current graded overcurrent protection scheme
7.Develop simple models for power system dynamic studies and perform simple stability assessments
8.Recognise practical issues related to system adequacy, reliability and resilience from different technological, societal and environmental perspectives
