Power System Analysis
ABSTRACT
The course provides students with concepts of power system analysis, with structures and operation modes of electrical power system, with ability to formulate operating models of electrical objectives, and with algebraic analysis models and methods on power flows, network modeling, fault analysis, power system dynamics and stability.
Course goal and objectives:
- to formulate operating models for the electrical objectives;
- to solve power flow problems for small- or medium-scaled electrical power systems;
