EPE4164 Modelling and Analysis of Power Systems

The aim of this module is to give a detailed overview of the field of power systems analyses and modelling. Power system modelling consists of a computer rendition of the electric grid, detailing each part’s characteristics. Power system engineers work tirelessly to accurately incorporate into the model not only the various devices but also their working specifications. The details of the components could include capacities, start-up time, impedance, power ratings, among others. Once the model has been designed, then it is possible to analyze what is happening or might happen in the real grid. Models of power system components such as transmission lines, transformers, static loads and synchronous generators are described in power system analysis.
