Module goal - Knowledge and skill to be achieved by students

  The goal of this course is to provide students with solid basic understanding in following areas:
<br>
Phase domain complex power system modeling and analysis; integration of the load flow, short circuits and series asymmetries phase domain models; electromagnetic transients modeling and analysis of frequency and time domain; the use of modern simulation software tools for the time domain electromagnetic transients analysis.
<br>
After completing this course students will be able to analyze complex problems in the area of Power system analysis.

Syllabus

  A phase domain power system analysis; modeling of the system components; admittance matrix creation for the phase domain computations; admittance matrix sparcity and factorization; decomposition of original systems.
<br>
Short circuits and series asymmetries computation in the phase domain; modeling of simultaneous disturbances.
<br>
Three-phase load flow; Asymmetrical loads; Y - matrix, Z - matrix and Newton- Raphson method for the three-phase load flow computations; integration of the load flow and short circuits phase domain models.
<br>
Integral transformation methods for electromagnetic transients simulations; different components models for the electromagnetic transients simulations; inverse Fourier transform.
<br>
Time domain electromagnetic transients simulations; Representation of the concentrated and distributed parameters elements; resistance equivalents; overhead line and cable models; Models of non-linear elements; Thevenin equivalent application in the simulation of time domain electromagnetic transients; time-step selection; creation and the factorization of the resulting admittance matrix; EMTP and sigma spx computer programs.

Didactic methods

  Course lessons are taught by the professor in lecture halls, and followed by demonstration and solving of practical examples and mathematical equations/graphs. Additionally, students spend time on tutorials and lab-exercises. They resolve specific problems pertaining to their theses, using available or student-developed software. Goal of these activities is to enable students to get hands-on, practical experience in this area, as well as to gauge students' knowledge through assigned papers and exams (mid-term, as well as final).
<br>

Exams

  During the course students earn points according to the following system:
<br>
- Attending classes and tutorials: 10 points; a student with more than three absences from lectures and/or tutorials will not be eligible to get these points.
<br>
- Home assignments, laboratory reports and/or final thesis: maximum of 10 points.
<br>
- Mid-term and final exams: a student can score up to 20 points on each exam (passing grade is 10 points).
<br>
During each of the two exams (time assigned is 90 minutes) students will solve simple questions - designed to examine whether students acquired basic theoretical knowledge multiple choice problems, as well as one open-answer problem. Students who gain less than 20 points during one semester must re-take that course.
<br>
Students who earn 40 or more points during the semester are eligible for taking a final exam; the exam asks the student to discuss mathematical problems from the mid-term exam and home assignments, as well as to answer to simple questions related to general course topics.
<br>
A student can score a maximum of 40 points on the final oral exam (passing threshold is 20 points). A student who gets less than this minimum, must take a makeup oral exam.
<br>
A student who earns 20 points or more, and less than 40 points during the whole semester will have to take a makeup exam. The makeup exam is organized in the following manner:
<br>
- Written part is structured similarly to mid-term written exam, during which students will have to solve problems in which they failed on their mid-term exams (got less than 10 points).
<br>
- Oral part of the exam is structured in the same way as the oral part of the final exam.
