Program Description

This course provides a specialized focus on the development of differential algebraic equations exhibiting the dynamic behavior of the machines for stability studies. The course details the analysis of rotor angle stability and voltage stability through traditional techniques supported with real time case studies. The course touches upon the principle of Equal Area Criterion, which is a simple approach for transient stability assessment of a SMIB system. The course also explores in detail the various methods of stability enhancement such as FACTS controller and Power System Stabilizer. The course stands out for its hands-on ETAP demonstrations, which is an industrial software used in power grid sectors, providing learners with practical skills in the field of power system stability analysis.

Course Objectives

  • State the importance of power system stability and classify various types of stability.
  • Derive the swing equation and power angle equation and illustrate their significance in transient stability assessment.
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of Equal Area Criterion principle for transient stability analysis of a SMIB system with applications for determination of critical clearing angle and critical clearing time.
  • Elucidate the concept of voltage stability for the determination of voltage stability index based on PV/QV characteristics with real time case studies and analyze the effects of voltage collapse and instability.
  • Discover the principle and characteristics of FACTS controllers suitable for transient stability enhancement and power system stabilizer for small signal stability enhancement.
